Hey there
I'm about to join a fresh campaign (lvl 1 start) as an Artificer, but the lack of options in low levels is kinda annoying - low UMD, no money and few actually usable infusions with 1min casting times, as well as completely random roleplaying if you have to roll diplomacy on a d20+0 for anything you say (sorry, slightly cynical after another game). I enjoy having options, but they are severely lacking in early levels, and since the group will consist of 5 PCs it might take quite the considerable time to level.
No flaws mean starting as a human, Human means shoot crossbow for the next 2-3 levels, with a bane thrown in if we actually get to prepare for a fight once in a while.
I've looked into maybe preparing some alchemical substances, anything else you can do with 125 starting gold that makes those early levels less...random? monotone?
