Shadowsmith

[squiggit]

I really really love the flavor of this PrC and I was curious if there was any way you could extend the duration of items you hand off? Being able to rapidly smith gear is slightly less awesome when you can't hand any of it out for more than a few seconds.

Also any tips in general on running this PrC. Warnings, threats, etc.

To extend there is "Extend Supernatural Ability"

Can't hand it off for more than a few rounds, and can't have more than one shadowcrafted item be magical. I agree that this PrC would be a lot better if you could both. Extend Supernatural Ability helps but the limit on magic enhancement hurts it a lot along with the fact that it takes 6 level of the Prc, so character level 11, before you can even start using the enhance ability. If you really want to take the PrC then talk to your DM about altering the abilities to make them actually viable.

it'd be interesting to see it fused with artificer, ditching most feats, and using infusions to boost the instantaneous shadow constructs...

squiggit,
First should be looking for a way to increase the amount of material you can make. 2lb/lvl is a killer.
