Hi there, I'm trying for a Gestalt Mailman-style character. The DM said 3.5e primary, pathfinder secondary, so I can yank spells and feats from pfsrd, for example.
We're starting at level 5, with standard WBL.
My idea is this:
Race: Human or Silverbrow Human or Azurin
EDIT: Made several changes
Starting at level 5 Gestalt with lvl7 wbl. The DM is using this variant:
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/magic/magicRating.htm
as well..
Haven't added anything Pathfinder yet, dunno what to add.
Otyugh Hole in backstory: Iron Will
L1: Easy Metamagic: Empower Spell <retrained to improved initiative later>
Human: Empower Spell
3: Quick Recovery
Lvl5scout4: Swift Hunter
6: Mobile Spellcasting
Lvl7Incantatrix1: Maximize Spell
9: Natural Spell
Lvl10Incant: Twin Spell
12: Residual Magic
lvl13Incant: Easy Metamagic: Maximize Spell
15: Improved Skirmish
Lvl16Incant: Ocular Spell
18: Easy Metamagic: Twin Spell
alternative class features:
Ranger
arcane hunter, skilled city-dweller for tumble, wild shape ranger, will trade animal companion for something at some point.
Sorcerer
Fast Metamagic, planar sorcerer lvl5
Scout: none
Items
otyugh hole 3000
darkwood light shield 257
thistledown padded armor 405
amber amulet of vermin: giant wasp 800
travel cloak combined with cloak of resistance +1 2200
anklets of translocation 1400
belt of healing 750
Spells so far:
6 lvl 0: Acid Splash, Sonic Snap, Read Magic, Detect Magic, Prestidigitation, Fleeting Fame
4 lvl 1: Lesser Orb of Acid, True Strike, Lesser Shivering Touch, Shocking Grasp
1 lvl 2: Combust
Side1:
1Scout/1Ranger/+3 Scout/+Rest Ranger
Side2:
Sorcerer6/Incantatrix10/Fatespinner 4
Now, please help me make sure I have this right:
At level 5, I move 10 feet and use Metamagic Specialist to put Empower Spell on Lesser Shivering Touch as a standard action, and use my planar substitution option, and I successfully hit a creature's touch AC, and it is a creature that happens to have spell like abilities, and I succeed in overcoming SR (if it has any), I do...
1d6*1.5 dex damage + 2d6+2 cold/force damage (half and half).
If I do the same but use Shocking Grasp, I do 5d6*1.5+2d6+2 electrical/force damage (half and half). Lesser Orb of Acid does 3d8*1.5+2d6+2 acid/force damage (half and half)?
Will swap out lesser shivering touch for the greater version at L6, and get True Casting as my other L1 spell.
I'm considering changing the build to be more caster-y on the other side, what with the 'Magic Rating' giving a gigantic possible increase in caster level... Thoughts?
