So in a fit of inspiration I want to build a Character using a custom race i finished recently. The idea is the character uses magic for ranged attacks and is decent in melee combat. no other 3rd party stuff allowed, race is Gm approved. I mainly need help with what class or build idea could work with this. Assume it uses the Defect type as listed in spoiler below.
Born in large cylindrical tubes in the smoky laboratories of powerful mages or alchemists, the Manikin are artificially crafted humanoids often made with crazy combinations of creatures incorporated into their more humanoid aspects. For example a Manikin with both orc and dragon in them might have the greenish skin and rippling muscles of an orc along with the scaled skin and horns of a dragon. Few know it but the original creator, rumor has it was an obsessed wizard seeking to fulfill a contract with a demon lord to save his soul from damnation.
Physical Appearance
All Manikin look different due to possessing different combinations of creatures, however the three sub species do tend to share certain traits.
Often referred to as the “bodyguard” species these manikin tend to be more physically intimidating, often weighing in anywhere from 130 to 300 pounds , out of the three the bodyguard species is the tallest the average being 6 feet.
The “Assistant” Species are often more pale and out of the three are the least odd in appearance. Unlike their brethren, the “assistant” types are created to the specifications of the buyer: often being created to be beautiful.
Lastly the “Defect” species are the most odd; they call “defects” due to the instability of their bodies. This is often due to combinations of creatures that make them up being incompatible or something else going wrong in the creation process. The ranges of looks from these Manikins are as varied as humans. Although they do tend to possess more exotic hair and eye colors. As one gets closer to their body breaking down inky blackness begins creeping up starting from the finger tips, although this breaking down has little effect other than making their body unstable. From Horns and claws, to skin as white as marble. These Manikin can possess any combination of odd traits. Often these Manikin are sold cheaper or are just disposed of.
Society
Manikin have no society of homeland of their own due to being creations of men. Often Manikin are sold as slaves, and are thought of as little more than a product to be sold. Those Manikin that gain freedom often find ways to easily fit into normal society, using their natural abilities to excel. Once a Manikin gains freedom, often it becomes the thing they cherish most doing whatever they must to preserve it.
Relations
Each of the three Manikin types generally have differing views on the other races. Although they are young as a race they quickly form opinions based on personal experiences. Due to their lack of society and culture of their own they often try to share the cultures of those surrounding them.
Alignment and religion
Religion among manikin vary, some aren’t even taught of the gods. All Manikin value freedom in part to their upbringing as slaves, however some such as the bodyguard type value honor and law. The defect type are most likely to become evil due to being consumed by revenge towards those who wrong them. The assistant type often crave freedom due to having incredibly sheltered lives.
