Good evening all.

I recently have been toying with an idea about making a pictomancer class that only deals with summoning. However due to the nature of work and my homelife I am unable to complete my thoughts.

Anyone who is actually familiar with Final Fantasy VI will recognize the pictomancer class. It is the class of the small girl Relm Arrowny. If you don't know who I'm talking about then maybe http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Relm_Arrowny will help you remember. I want to make a class that is from a basic bloodline (Or raised by this bloodline) of Fey called Pictomancers who use their ability in everyday work, instead of actual combat.

My idea originally sprung as a type of summoner who could only summon a monster with CR equal to their caster level at the time. But afterwords I expaned my idea to being able to draw objects, that have actual mass, but will look like crude doodles with no color. In other words if you drew a peice of gold it could come out looking something like a drawing of a Kindergardener, but in 3D.

Any other help would be appreciated. I realize this is my first post on this Forum and I may not be given much thought. But I'm an avid 3.5 player and have been playing D&D for many years.

Check out the Artiste, around 6 threads down. Does similar stuff, has some decent fluff, and the crunch discussion is highly important to your idea, so even if you can't simply use his brew, there's a lot to learn over there for this idea you're mustering.

Now I just feel like a bloody idiot. Although I did read over PrimalFury's class, it's not exactly what I had in mind, however it DID have a lot of the same ideas as I did. I could easily use these in my game, but make some subtle changes.

Although the rest of the thread is completely irrelevant to this, I think you may find this post (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5798984&postcount=37) very useful in finding inspiration to make the crunch match the fluff.
