Inspired by characters like Jan Jensen, or the duergar inventor from IWD2 (the one that made the hell bolter), I came up with this idea:

Class: Inventor

May specialize in crossbow, only proficient in all other weapons
May not place slots in any fighter styles
May only wear leather or studded leather armor
Hit Die: d4
Thief XP and THAC0 progression table

Special starting items that upgrades on level up:

Inventor's Arbalest (crossbow, only usable by inventor):

Antimagic Helmet (only usable by inventor)
Level 1 +5% Magic Resistance / Level 5 +10% MR / Level 9 +25% MR / Level 17 +50% MR

    I like it! I had a similar idea for a thief kit--I think I called it a 'gadgeteer'--that sacrificed thievery for the ability to create gadgets. I had something of a script concept, however, which allowed the character to 'create' items if they had enough gold, and perhaps special items. I ran out of ideas, however.
