party question (arftificer)

[shendelzar]

Im currently in a campaign and in our party we have a half giant psychic warrior, a human cleric, a halfling conjurer. recently we added two new players, A thrikreen totemist/scout, and a human artificer.

Im not very familiar with either of these classes/combos. I know that the thrikreen character can get a LOT of attacks per round with all his natualr weapons. And i know an artificer specializes in magic items and can imbue temporary enchantments on weapons and armor. Thats great for most the party since we all carry 1 weapon, and a piece of armor. But the thrikreen has many mnay natural weapons, is there anythign the artificer can do to help make the thrikreen more OP?

Also, what are some of the tricks artificers can do to make their chracters really shine in or out of combat?

An amulet of natural weapons would be helpful, or scrolls of permanency and greater magic fang. Both will apply enhancement bonuses to natural attacks.

Pretty much what Fouredged suggested here, although I think he meant either the Amulet of Mighty Fists from the DMG or the Necklace of Natural Attacks from Savage Species. The most optimal application of resources would be to permanency a greater magic fang on his natural attacks, and then get him a +1 <Various special abilities> Necklace of Natural Attack to add some effects onto his attacks.

Depends. What sort of things would your character do? There's pretty much nothing that's unavailable to a properly built artificer.


more OP?

Why do you want to be over powered? It's...not really that great. It can get boring and suck the fun out of it for people who don't feel that they're contributing. If you meant "optimized," that's something else, but "OP" is generally read as "over powered."

Also, you might be more likely to get help in the future if you work on the grammar/spelling. It's pretty common to just not bother reading a post that's filled with errors. So...yeah. Not trying to attack you, but it's something you should be aware of.

You don't really need weapons for anything but the weapon-specific infusions. There are a bunch of infusions that can be applied to mundane clothing or the like.

[Fouredged Sword]

Or a pocket full of pebbles. Or a stick, or a rock, or a piece of ribbon.

...or your army of construct minions that many artificers eventually get or the ground at your feet...
