Does this class exist or is it homebrew creation

[DrkMagusX]

I was wondering if there was a class that could specialize on Animate objects. I had a thought of something like a puppeteer with small puppets of various material. Checking with the community to see what you all say. If it doesn't exist what class would be easiest to alter to fit the Animator concept?

you could play the Summoner class as this I think

I would do Summoner and ask the DM if he is ok with instead of fiendish or celestial animals from summon monster if you could get animals with the Clockwork Construct template it is the same CR modifier and on the srd site.

There.

Grittier Games has a Summoner Archetype just for this called the Puppet Master.

@ Azten I wanna check it out, but I can't get the pdf til I get some funds on a card.

Understandable. The other suggestions so far are just as good too.

I picture him caring something in his bag or on his back that he brings to life. Or a weaker wizard with a protector of sorts much like a Animal Companion that he modifies
