Gestalt help for a PbP here (Ephemera)
« on: July 29, 2008, 10:35:58 PM »

18 cp[/spoiler]

So, spellcasting is my first inquiry.
Second, AndyJames have modified the ranger class to have the druids Animal Companion progression.
My thoughts are:
Is a AC worth it here?
Are there any alternative class features (within the classified books, check link) that I should take instead?
If I should have one, what should it be?

I admit this is one part of my concept that I'm not sure what to pick.

Oh, and just so that you'll get the full 20 level progression so you get a clear picture:

Fighter 4/Bard 16//Scout 4/Ranger 6/Dervish 10

Feats not mentioned allready:

Melodic Casting
Practised Spellcaster
Deadly Defense
open slot

In some order I will find later. Leveling won't be very fast (which I like by the way, more enjoyment from each level) so I haven't decided what to pick.

2w-fighting and imp. 2w-fighting from ranger levels.

Pre-made FAQ:
1. Yes, I know this is sub-par for Gestalt, having no full casting. I don't care.
This is a hybrid skillmonkey, party face, mobility damage-dealer-thingie.
With 2 Warblade/Wizards, one who looks like going into Shadowcraft Mage and one to... Io7V I guess, I think we have enough full arcane spellcasting.

2. Yes, I'll try to get Slippers of Battledancing, eventually.
But that'll take some serious time until then, so that's a later headace.


Suggestions, ideas, nitpicks, thoughts or otherwise would be nice.

(A group of nerds are called a murder because like crows we are anti-social, like shiny things, and often squack at each other over nothing for hours)

I often have to remind people not to underrate divination.  The ability to effectively metagame without actually metagaming beats the ability to set things on fire more times than not.

Before giving the advice that build X would be better of with Fist of the Forest, take a long, good look at Primal Living. Twice.

feats and dervish seem o have the combat isde looking pretty good...

if you want to face for the party, charm... get grease for combat. can't go wrong. 

cantrips are good... alota flexibility in there.
