Talk:Clocksmith (3.5e Class)

From D&D Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I really like the feel of this class so far, and it seems fairly balanced as while the construct is very powerful, the clocksmith himself is a big, juicy target. The only thing that really bugged me was getting Factory at level 30. I think it would be better to slowly build up to that over the class, being able to make more constructs(albeit weaker) at certain levels. It's just annoying to have to wait until level 30 to get such a cool feature in one massive chunk.

Reply to that[edit]

Well, if you think about it, it sort of builds up.Every four levels you can bring intelligence up, which after two increases will add another available construct, so... hm... that sounded much more noteworthy in my head ;) Unifel (talk) 18:37, 29 October 2012 (MDT)

Looks Great, but a Few Mechanical Problems[edit]

This class looks really interesting, definitely one of the best I've seen on the wiki. The person before was right about it being better to build up the amount of constructs you have over time, but having an amount equal to your intelligence modifier seems like quite the jump from only having one until level 30. It would be better if every one after the first was weaker. The epic levels seem a bit problematic too, since your constructs stop gaining HD after level 20. 173.48.137.118 09:39, 28 August 2012 (MDT)

Creating Other Clockwork Items[edit]

Great class. I'm using it for an NPC right now.

Only thing I'd like to see is a caster level. I've found some other clockwork items that are considered constructs but require a certain CL to create. I haven't the experience playing to determine whether or not this should be equal to the Clocksmith's level, or maybe 1/2 his level? I figure either way, it could be worded in such a way as to make sure he only has a CL when dealing with clockwork creations. This way, he can't create any old construct, like other golem types. Keeps him true to his clockwork understandings.

Any advice or edits you'd have on this matter would be appreciated!

Keep up the awesome!


Craft Construct[edit]

Shouldn't Craft Construct be a level 6 ability?--63.142.67.85 13:55, 1 August 2015 (MDT)

I agree with you.--Redrum 13:43, 19 March 2016 (MDT)
