Hi,
I was hoping for some advice on a gestalt build that I want to try in an upcoming campaign.
Now as far as I know, all material will be allowed (except perhaps the dragon magazine stuff), it will be 32 pt buy, and the gestalt system is being varied to allow multiple PrCs at the same time.
Now... to play something a little different (I usually don't play spellcasters) I have come up with a few builds that I'm quite happy with, namely a Hexblade//Binder, and a Wizard//Archivist
The build I'm really keen on right now, however, is one using the Bard class, and the Dirgesinger PrC. The main thing I'm going for is a morbid and gloomy support character, whose main strength would probably be fear effects, etc.
I have read the fear handbook, and quite a few other handbooks as well... but my main question would be... if for example I am going Bard 15/Dirgesinger 5 for one 'side' of my gestalt, what would be best for the other side...
I have been tossing up between Sorceror and Dread necromancer, possibly prestiging into Dread Witch and maybe Nightmare Spinner. My main problem with these are that I want my class to be predominately a bard... and I fear if I take levels in the other classes I'll be mainly playing a Sorceror or Dread Necromancer, with Bard becoming secondary.
Any interesting ideas on what would be good supporting classes for the bard side of things, and how to maximise the overall concept?
Thank you, your help is appreciated!
