I'm starting a new campaign and as a good DM I've done the first session as a conceptual group template session, establishing who the characters are and why they are together.
What I need now is to fit their wants to existing core, source or homebrew 3.5 or pathfinder classes.
The setting was future but is now going to move around timelines and realities.
Character 1 (The Tinkerer)
This character wants to build contraptions that have contingencies, using traps, slow-acting poisons and a sort of "I'm not killing you now, but you will die." feeling.
Can artificer do this?
Can gramarie make physical traps at lower level?
What do you suggest?
Character 2 (The Artisan)
This character is similar to Tiaan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiaan) from Geomancer (Well of Echos), she is both a magical crafter (creates power cores for big machines) and an artist with some healing magic thrown in. Generally she wants to be a supportive character (which I am not really a fan of, because that's an overplayed trope), so I'm looking for a little more flavor than "tiny woman sits in the back and heals".
Favored Soul MAY work?
The player is new to DnD so a really heavy class such as Magical Girl is probably not the best fit, any other suggestions?
Character 3 (The Cyborg)
This character I am designing a custom class for.
A cross between Ferngully's Batty (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opOl17fNh1w#t=1m46s) and Robocop's Murphy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0yuaUCKFII).
Character 4 (Unknown)
This character will be brought in next-session as sort of a dynamic addition, no plans yet.
