What sould I be?
Hi, I would like some help picking what character class I should be. My race will be Tinker Gnome, and we have 40 point buy.
The other people in my party be either a dread necromancer or a shadowcaster and either a wizard or a fighter.
I know that the plot of the campaign will be a lot like Alien vs Predator 2, with creatures from the far realm instead of aliens and no predator.
I'm thinking of being an artificer.Check out my class, the Clothfighter.

Re: What sould I be?
Advise them to be the Dread Necromancer and the Wizard, then be a Cleric/Druid/Archivist. Artificer is also acceptable, but they are more straight up calculation and book diving then any other class, so go for it if you are willing to do that, otherwise don't.

Re: What sould I be?
I am willing to do calculations and things, and I dislike clerics and druids.

Re: What sould I be?
An archivist is a divine caster that's based mostly on Int instead of Wis. He prepares his spells out of a book, like a wizard, instead of just praying for them like the Cleric. The biggest advantage of the archivist is that he can put any divine spell at all in his book, so long as he can get a scroll or other source for it, so he can end up with spells from the druid list, or domain spells, or what-not, and he can get some spells at lower level than normal, by getting them from classes like ranger or paladin (for instance, lesser restoration is a 1st-level paladin spell, so if an archivist gets that spell from a paladin, it's a first-level spell for him). They also have an ability that lets them use Knowledge checks to give their party various bonuses against "unnatural" enemies (aberrations, undead, etc.), which would be useful in a Far Realm invasion campaign.

Re: What sould I be?
Heroes of Horror, but definitely not this Wizards of the Coast preview, ehich totally doesn't include fgull rules for the class. Honest.
BImportant note: I'll be away from the Internet for two weeks. Apologies to anyone this causes a problem for.

Cool. I'll check it out.

Re: What sould I be?
If you can get the Precocious Apprentice feat trick to work for an Archivist. Taking a level in Binder at second level and going Anima Mage for 4 levels before hitting other PRCs. Take a flaw at second level for the Improved Binding feat.

Re: What sould I be?
And Anima Mage is arcane-only, and Archivist is divine. And Precocious Apprentice is also arcane-only, and is probably only allowed in the first place by rules-literalist DMs.
