young me: I just got invited to a D&D game and I already know exactly what kind of character I want to make! she's going to be an expert steampunk tinkerer who's really charismatic and has a mechanical dragonfly that eats coal and delivers packages for her
5e: okay so first of all, you're going to be starting at level 3 so you can't be an expert at anything yet. in order to become an expert, you have to level up over the course of 1-2 IRL years - assuming the game lasts that long
5e: also, there is no tinkerer class, but you can be an artificer. they're basically just glorified mages though - they don't actually make anything mechanical or steampunk
me: what if I reflavor the artificer's spells-
5e: to be technology instead? the spells in this game are extremely limited and niche by design, to balance them. if you have technology that can replicate something like Misty Step, that raises a lot of questions about why your teleportation is so limited in so many strange ways
