Going with these Weapon and Machine might be good classes for Tinkers with Machine Theme in particular being useful against poisons and diseases which would be a nice counter for Bonesaw. Water is mostly for Nimue's namesake.

Yeah machine will help against a lot of bonesaw stuff.

I was hoping to roll Bonus Theme. Both Machine and Forcefield provide valuable effects, especially against Tinkers.

While there are a lot of good options I think Machine is the best for now since it allows us to deploy literally any summon against the Nine without having to worry about Bonesaw.

Also @zagan a random thought I had, would it theoretically be possible for us to grant Parian a summon with the cloth effect to give her a permanent, more significant way to defend herself that could just be passed off as her own work?

Yes, that is a possibility. However, the Cloth theme wouldn't allow her to apply her power to the given creature. Theme are only cosmetic. Like with the Insect Theme, it doesn't allow Taylor to control Alex's partners.
I think it would be more effective to give Parian a partner already made of cloth, there are a few and a good supporting power.
In fact Alex already has one,

, but he wouldn't give that one away. The trick with Swarm to create an army is too good to pass up.

Okay, the Machines theme is nice. Now I need to look into a class linked to that and a unique material. I'm open to suggestions.

For a Machine Class I would suggest either cribbing off of DnD 5e's Artificer by having Adventurers become able to create magical gadgets t fight with, with number and effects determined by level similar to how Living Weapon works. Or a more cyborg-type Class that is based around integrating with technology and affecting it. For instance, Cyborgs(really needs a better name) gain a number of slots per level that represent how many machines they can store in their bodies, machines thus stored can be manifested through the user's body at will. Through some things they can use to modify their powers at later levels and you've basically got a Class.

As for a material, what about a magical metal that is easily shaped by willful intent but otherwise almost immune to mechanical fatigue, deformation, or wear. Essentially it's malleable as clay when being made into something like a tool or component but only forces that are generated by a sapient actor cause this. Non-sapient forces find it tougher than titanium. The whole idea is that it would be perfect for making machines easily.
