So, it's been a pretty strange month, and while my Midnight game is running smoothly (aka the players are getting the grimdark feel of the game), I kinda want to be a player more than a DM at this rate (I'm also GMing for an Iron Kingdoms game, so yeah).
A friend is going to DM a game, and he's letting me play a gestalt character. It's the first time I do a gestalt, so, from my understanding:
You get the best HD
You get the best BAB
You get the two best saves
You get both spellcasting lists and separate spells per day
You get both skills sets and the most skillpoint from one or the other class
You get all class features
That being said, I'm the only gestalt character in the party, but, considering both classes, I don't think I'm not as broken. The rest of the party is:
Dream Dwarf Shugenja (I think he'll be Earth)
Illumian Cleric
Gray Elf Wizard (Generalist)
Halfling Druid
Human Barbarian
Also, we rolled our stats, mine are: 12, 15, 15, 18, 17, 16. So my stats could be ordered in:
Str 15
Dex 12
Con 16
Int 18
Wis 15
Cha 17
I'm thinking of playing a Raptoran warmage, and focus first on a combination of melee and spell damage at early levels, if the going gets tough, and then become a full blaster. However, I don't know what feat to pick, maybe Skill Focus (Concentration), or Toughness?. We're all starting on level 1, but I do want to plan ahead (The DM loves high-stakes, high-XP, low treasure adventures).
So far, the idea is to be Gestalt 6/Divine Oracle 2 (Warmages get True Strike, and I will be getting eclectic learning)/Silver Pyromancer 5/Holy Scourge 5/??? 3; and, the feat selection so far would be:
1.- ??? (Maybe Arcane Disciple?)
3.- Empower Spell
6.- Arcane Strike
9.- Ranged Smite (Dunno if the regular smite works on ranged spells)
12.- ???
15.- ???
18.- ???
Yup, making gestalt characters is fairly new and strange XD; so, any suggestions would be welcome :smallsmile:.
Also, we're using the Fantasy adaptation pantheons of D&D that is in Deities & Demigods, thus we're playing a D&D setting of Europe, with Greek and Eyptian (maybe some Asgardian gods, too, the shugenja player is interested) clerics running around.
