Hello patrons!

As I mentioned in another post, we're working on a new quest where you'll have the option to bring Ilreth as a follower. The thing is: She doesn't have innate magic as powerful as Kalyskah's or Merishya's, she's an artificer that counts with her wits and gear to fight!

So with that in mind, I was having a few ideas of what powers she could have as a companion. So far I came up with:

Hitting the ground with her hammer to summon a magical turret (using her crystals) or a golem to help her in the fight.

A dash that she moves forward using some "jets" on her boots, another power from crystals.

Perhaps a bomb that she can throw to cause AoE damage?

What are your thoughts? Any ideas are welcome!

ps. Don't look to hard to her chest on this gif because her bodyshape only loads in runtime, not in the engine's viewport xD

Could do something like little Grenade like options or vials that she throws to create an effect. Depending on the resources you want to devote to it, it could be as simple as a minor explosion to cover a turret that spawns in, or the Grenade like device transforming into the turret. Or anything in between. Beyond that, could just add vaguely tech looking items that can work as the source, and she just fiddles with valves, levers, and the like to product an effect. Artificers are, from what I've seen, more focused on inventing and prepping in downtime, rather than making things in the moment. So having devices and tools on hand seems more natural to the profession than trying to whip something up on the fly.

Is Ilreth going to be a playable character at any point or are we able to buy gear off of her?

Oh, her chest looks indeed different on the gif, but it's actually cute somehow. I like her even more now, haha. I think as an elf girl she could have some things in her pockets, but I like the idea with the hammer. She could throw it and it comes back to her hands on its own. Like this she can fight on distance. Her bracelet could absorb enemy magical attacks and with her hammer she could also create mechanical minions during the fight that attack the enemy or protect her.
