Overview & Creation

A tinkering class who toys with this worlds materials to create beings made of metal to assist in combat. (DMs I would recommend adding something like the wizards spell scrolls for creation blueprints). This is a class that is very strong if it prepares for a fight before battle but is much weaker in an ambush scenario.
