Need help with gear selection for a gestalt Psion/Factotum
« on: April 30, 2011, 10:18:57 AM »
Here is the gist...

Gestalt Game

Classes
Side 1: Psion (Telepath) 5/Shadowmind 10
Side 2: Unholy Scion 5/Int Prodigdy 2/Factotum 3/Vecna Blooded 1/Lich 4

Cash to Spend: 200,000g

Current Items
Head Slot: Headband of Intellect +6 (36k)
Face Slot: Veil of Allure, +2 telepathy saves, p.145 (14k)
Neck Slot: Psionatrix of Telepathy +1 to DC, p.119 (8k)
Torso: Vest of Resistance +5 (25k)
Waist: Belt of Battle p73, (12k)
Feet Slot: Gwaeron's Boots (6k)

Weapons
+1 Gauntlet of Warning (8k)
+1 Eager Gauntlet (8k)


Baring epic cheese like enchanting shurikens with +9 worth of enchants for roughly 4k a pop. What other useful items should I snag for my character?
Light in the Darkness.
Darkness in the Light.
It is truly a neverending cycle of nightmares.
Yet that is what we have been given.
Find your dreams where you may.
And live life like no other.

For any build that is Gestalt and has Factotum, you really need at least 8 levels of it. Preferably 11.

So I'd keep the Psion side intact, and get Factotum 11 / XXX 4. There's nothing wrong with some Chameleon (Factotum 8 / Chameleon 7), either.

What's more, if you're focusing on INT-synergy, get Monk 2 or Swordsage 2 and Carmedine Monk and other stuff...

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.

You would be utterly amazed at how powerful and useful a psychoactive skin of proteus is, under any and all situations.

Also, a couple of least rings of diamond mind (from ToB) to sub Concentration checks for Will and Fort saves. Well worth the price at 3000 gp each.

Nabbing some magical locations (see: C. Scoundrel) and some scrolls of Embrace/Shun the Dark Chaos will give you a bunch of feats, as well.

I dare anyone to find a hole in that logic.
