Hi Playground,
I, as stated, need a bit of help for my group. We decided, as a group, that we needed to limit our campaign to Tier 3 and lower(our last campaign was real lame do to 'smart' tactics, such as scry and die), but to make up for the lack of options, we decided to gestalt.
Now, the plot of the campaign is thus: We are outsiders(little o, aka aliens), transported to this world by a wierd lilo and stich shaped god, and basically were told we have to overthrow a tyranny. Of course, characters got a choice, but who turns that down?
Anyway, we have no starting resources except WBL, and have found that magic is restricted to a side ruling class similar to a nobility.* Cleric magic is restricted to two church's-Hextor and Nerull. To top it off, it seems most serfs live in dark ages level, but it seems that some nobles MAY have access to gunpowder, at least in the shape of huge defensive bombards**
So, we are at third level, in a low-magic, low-wealth(de facto, cant eat gold)
game.
Point being, the load weighs on the characters, and since Im supposed to be the groups option for character build help, I turn to you.
The players are as follows
Crusader//Warmage
Pretty simple, but if there any cute tricks to work with, do tell. Might focus on fire magic, more for fun than much else. Uses a breastplate, shield and warhammer right now. Was a cleric, had to scramble to change. Is there a way to cover healing with him?
Fighter//Rogue
Again, pretty simple. Mainline fighter with a great scimitar. So far pretty good at sneak attack, just has some problems flanking. Might have taken dungeoncrasher, not sure. If he has, i wasnt there when he used it. Feats or skill tricks needed please!
Duskblade//Warlock
Secondline fighter, really in need of build help. Just...anything really. Feats, useful beatsticks, ways to make two-weapon effective, anything.
Factotum//Dread Necromancer
No real idea how to help him, neither of us have ever run either of the classes. It was a joke idea, based around a injoke that adds "OF DEATH" to the end of his sentences. He stated "I want to know all ...OF DEATH". Therefore-boom.
Shadowcaster//Beguiler
So, i think this is a really cool idea for a character, but while the player is real good at paperwork, she isnt really good at learning new subsystems. Shes played a bunch of druids, wizards, sorcs, etc, but she know nothing about shadowcasters past fluff. Once again, mucho build help needed.
Without UMD, its there anyway for this group to have a healer?
Thanks in advance!
*They seem to be above the Church of Hextor's priests, but below the standard nobility and possibly/?/ below Nerull's.
**Walls of a major and seemingly rich city were brick and earth, a rather than stone, which was plentiful around the area.
