Talk:Builder (3.5e NPC Class)
Capstone[edit]
Does Instant Crafting apply to more than just your normal mundane/magical gear and tools? Could a 20th level Builder Instant Craft a vehicle or structure? Ramparts, castle defenses? ... A castle?
Thoughts[edit]
High Balance NPC kind of boggles the mind. At that point maybe call it a PC class. This could definitely be Moderate PC class seeing as how it about gets Bard casting including that some spells are gained at lower level slots as Bards do.
But what really brought me here was Improved Carry Capacity. That's insane. Doubling carrying capacity is pretty on par for abilities that boost carrying capacity. But I've never seen one that just outright doubles the strength score. And at level 2. On an "NPC" class. Doubling the strength *score* can be a HUGE multiplier. On Strength 10 that is x3. On Strength 20 that is x14. On Strength 30 that is x64. And so on. You may be looking at NPCs that can carry millions of pounds. And since Gestalt Training is a thing that exists, PCs can get access to this crack. Honestly if you make a schtick out of killing enemies by tossing heavy things then this might even be High balance PC. -ErikOfWiki October 6, 2024
