Gestalt 15 / 2 LA Buyoff / Work in Progress / Feedback is a'okay
« on: November 08, 2009, 06:57:40 PM »
House Rule: Maximum of 6 Classes in total in your build (Not including the ones you finish)
Start: Level 15 Gestalt, Flaws/Traits are allowed, Pracitcally All Sources, 250k personnal wealth, 500k wealth for rebellion outfitting or personnal use, 20,000xp for LA or crafting pre-game.

Build so far:
[spoiler]Master of Many Forms 2 (C.Adv) / Beholder Mage 2 (LoM) / Cloistered Cleric 3 (Somewhere) / Hathran 5 (PGtF) / Incantatrix 3 (PGtF)
//
Archivist 5 (HoH) / Dweomerkeeper 10 (C.Div)

Using 1 LA for Divine Minion template http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mb/20050209a so I can get Wildshape for entering Beholder Mage.[/spoiler]

Plan:
Abuse of Magical Locations to get as many feats as possible so that I can actually qualify for all this stuff, so far I have found these for retraining with permanent duration.

I realise it isn't 999999s but it is solid for what I am planning, will have CL40, casting in AMF/Dead Zone, cast any spell spontaneously, have access to all spells, get free uses of spells as SU several times per day (lol wish??), able to cast 9 spells per round from eyestalks alone.

Also, as this is a level fifteen build it isn't optimized for low level play.

Complete Scoundrel:
Hewards Hall - Focus
Frog Fane - Skill Focus
Highest Spire - Skill Focus
Iron Wyrm Vault - Focus and others
Otyugh Hole - Iron Will

Other Sources:
Pending

Feats:
Required:
Abberation Blood (LoM)
Abberation Wildshape (LoM)
Assume Supernatural Ability (Anti-Magic-Eye) (Sav)

These first three are all required just to be able to Wildshape into a Beholder, which you can achieve at level three this way as Master of Many Forms gives you Large Wildshaping at level two. Some would say that you don't need to take the Assume Supernatural (Eyestalks) because these will be turning into Spellstalks anyway, but you might as well be thorough and just retrain something so you have it.

If you have no limits then Fiendish Codex will help a lot with this DCFS or alternatively pledging your service to an Elder Evil with some tricks involved can give a lot of feats too when you rinse and repeat infinitely.

I want to take Initiate of Mystra (PGtF) so I need Cleric/Cloistered Cleric 3 for my immunity to AMF/Dead Magic Zones.

For Incantatrix:
Iron Will (PHB)
Any Metamagic

For Dweomerkeeper:
Any Item Creation Feat (Craft Scroll) <-- Hathran's can't take any other

For Hathran (Yay for Spontaneous Casting with Acorns)
Ethran (PGtF)
Leadership (PHB)

For entry to a PRC I wanted:
Versatile Spellcaster (RoD)
Heighten Spell (PHB)

So bare minimum I need ten feats, and I would like to have a few other metamagics too. I will get five from just the locations I am currently aware of, and then six while I level with an additional two from flaws. So I am pretty much covered already, but there's always room for improvement.

What I need:
I need to know more magical locations that give a permanent feat as currently I will be using craft exp to give myself more feats with Fiendish Codex spells.

What I might like:
Academic Priest, from Dragonlance: Legends of the Twins changes your Divine Spellcasting to be reliant on Int, but DCs still come from Wis... pointless for my Archivist.

Extend Spell / Persist Spell, obvious reasons
Reach Spell / Chain Spell, buffing could be useful

Cohort:
Two levels below me, unless I spend a feat to make it one... and there's a good chance I will. Begins with 150,000 to spend.

Right now I am thinking Artificer // Wizard / Warweaver / Hathran / Legacy Champion / Incantatrix

This is for Alastair throne's game right?  Doesn't that basically have  DC15 fort or die every other month regardless of what you do?

Depends who you are, DC30 or die if you're important enough to be popular ; ) Not everyone will be targetted by assassins.

Magic items can more or less protect you from this.

Update: Working on Stronghold currently, if anyone has any bright ideas about that which may or may not be included in the Stronghold Builders Guide then I would appreciate them.

Noticed two dead levels in my build and now I am that little bit stronger.
