Hey all. I'm currently involved in a gestalt game of the World's Largest Dungeon, going from level one to twenty. As you can see from the title, I'm trying to figure out how to wear my armor and retain casting abilities. Here's my build:
Cloistered Cleric of Boccob//Swordsage/Sorcerer/Jade Phoenix Mage
Right now, I'm going back and forth between two or one in swordsage for the wis to AC. So here's my question. How can I wear decent armor to get my AC pretty high. The DM's going to be throwing a LOT at us, so I want to be prepared.
So, basic ideas. How's my build? Any minor changes? I want to keep the build virtually the same and keep cheese down as much as possible. Right now, I'm trying to reduce MAD as much as possible for a cleric//arcane caster. Wisdom/Strength/Charisma is what I'm doing now with 38 point buy. My stats are (as a Desert Dwarf) STR: 15, DEX: 6, CON: 13, INT: 8, WIS: 17, CHA: 16
I'm trying to straddle the very fine line between straight-up cheese and a good character. The DM has already approved that specific build I mentioned, but I'm open to change to make this better. Any ideas and basic optimization info? (anything's applicable [without cheese], races, class changes, items, feats, anything)
For feats I'm thinking about taking DMM and a couple good metamagic feats that'll apply to both sides of the gestalt well.
So, I eagerly await your feedback, and thanks!
