This is a two part question about the same character i will be playing in a single game.

So context is that i will be playing a goblin artificer with an emphasis on explosions, robots, gadgets and making really bad puns.

Its fifth level and i have created a few neat little trinkets and semi specialized my character to be able to take ten on most crafting checks that i have seen and have a decent use magic device (15)

My question (statement?) Is what clever, inventive strange or confusing inventions have you created that would be fun to involve in a campaign. Not really looking for super broken ideas just fun ones.


Secondly. I have done a fair bit of google searching trying to find alchemy item stuff with descriptions or books and it seems to have failed me. I would like to be able to create more then just your basic phb alchemy items and cannot for the life of me find proper sources and materials for it. Links to some sort of alchemy item listing with descriptions and or book listing would be super helpful.

That's a pretty broad question. I'm not sure about clever, inventive, or confusing, but I like to toss in minor magical items once in a while just as flavour. They have some gold value, but can also be useful for some things. For example, I throw in things like a little gold dragon that can be used as a lighter, or a "broken" compass that always points toward the nearest tavern (the party never did figure this one out, though).

This (http://www.realmshelps.net/magic/items/alchemy.shtml) has a list of a lot of alchemical items.
Here (http://community.wizards.com/content/forum-topic/2566441) is another one. There's probably some overlap. Likewise. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=12873997#post12873997)

Feats include Grenadier, Mad Alchemist, Grell Alchemy, and Craft Alchemical Item if you use the craft point variant in Unearthed Arcana. There are the Alchemist Savant and Master Alchemist prestige classes. Effigy Master might be good for your "robots" - refluffed a bit.
