    Default Classes based around building things?

    I'm mostly just curious about this. Are there any classes based around simply building things? There's a TV show character I want to build for fun.

    Artificer seems to be the most obvious option.
    "Reach down into your heart and you'll find many reasons to fight. Survival. Honor. Glory. But what about those who feel it's their duty to protect the innocent? There you'll find a warrior savage enough to match any dragon, and in the end, they'll retain what the others won't. Their humanity."

    One Prc I can think of is effigy master from Complete Arcane. The basic idea of the class is that you build constructs that look like humanoids or animals.

    Artificers make robots homunculi and magical items. That's their entire stick.

    There's Sovereign Glue or something like that, which binds two things together.

    D20 Modern has duct tape (also magical). MIC will most probably have something analogous.

    Unfortunately, Sovereign glue costs too much for the quantities of Duct tape I'm going to need.

    @^ what does the Duct tape from D20 Modern cost?

    Also, the Lyre of Building (13000 GP) and Nolzur's Marvellous Pigments (4000 GP) are right up your alley.

    There is a cantrip called "Stick" in Underdark (also listed in crystalkeep). Attaches one object of up to 5 lb to something else. Instantaneous, so it lasts until pulled apart. However the adhesive power isn't very strong and anyone can pull it off.

    Won't be doing this. I don't want to be kicked out of my group for being a powergaming jerk. That's why I chose a dragon as a cohort instead of a wizard.

    Which turned out to be a big help to the DM since his girlfriend wants to use a dragon as a mount too.

    don't worry, this isn't one of the girlfriend's that takes up all the DM's time and doesn't actually want to play. He treats her pretty much like he treats us in game.
