Archetypes and Selections for a thought experiment.

[The Shadowmind]

Way back when there was this reddit post:https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_RPG/comments/7de8li/allstalt_character_vs_rise_of_the_runelords/

In it, it was all Pazio classes gestalted together(and ignore alignment conflicts) versus the entire Rise of The Runelords AP.

Instead we are doing a slight variation of it.

All Dreamscarred Presses classes versus the AP. Due to the smaller selection, we are allowing archetypes, for the idea.
So Rules.
15 PB, Only DSP material, Alignment conflicts are ignored.
Gestalt rule interpretation in effect: All power points and essence are pooled together.
Classes:

Aegis
Cryptic
Dread
Marksman
Psion
Psychic Warrior
Soulknife
Tactician
Vitalist
Wilder
Harbinger
Mystic
Rajah
Stalker
Warlord
Warder
Zealot
Voyager
Daevic
Guru
Vizier


My initial idea is to take Ravenlord and Nightmare Constructor archetypes, because they held balance out the action economy deficit that you start with. Coming that with Titles from Distant Shores, to make the smart Bryd and monsterbot useful combatants from level 1, and avoid the doubledipping problem from having 3 veilweaver classes.

The idea was lots of moving parts to keep track of, so what stat or stats it should focus on?

How far do you think the abomination made of class features will get.

[Andor13]

Dear God that would be a nightmare to play. So many moving parts.

Let's see. Should probably be Evil. That lets the Vizier use his Dark Lords ring for more minions. I feel like Int is probably your go to stat. It drives Aegis, Cryptic, Psion, Tactician, Warder, Harbinger and Vizier, which is a solid roster of classes.

For Dread, maybe the Swarmlord archetype? It does lock you into pestilence cloak, but adds to your veils shaped, gives you a swarm, and eventually lets you turn into a swarm for shenanigans.

Obviously Riven Hourglass is going to be your best friend.

Probably Crystal Warrior for the Aegis. Why not get free ranged attacks?

I dunno. Too many parts for my brain.

sorry, I know it should be obvious, but I need clarification on what you meant by the gestalt clarification:
i'm not sure whether "pooled" together means you get each classes summed together, or you get the highest one only at each level.

Each class summed together, like they would if you multi-classed.

[Andor13]

Each class summed together, like they would if you multi-classed.

That is not normally how gestalt works. Instead it's best of. So you would get d12 HP from Warder and not 21 hd at 1st level. Likewise you get Psion PP and Vizier Essence because those are the highest totals, not Vizier + Guru + Deavic + Rajah essence (Which would get broken rapidly with the Essence of the Immortal feat.) +2 to all saves but not +30 at level 1.

Features that are not the same you do get, so while you would only have veils per day from Vizier (and anything that explicitly adds like the Swarmlord, you would get the blood bind from Deavic as well as the ring bind from Vizier. Likewise you can bind the entire list of veils from Vizier, Deavic, Guru and Rajah.

Incidentally, did you leave Medic off for a reason, or just miss it?

If Psionics get PP from both sides is a long debates questions:

Veils and Maunvers are keep completely separate as spell-slots are.
So 1 Veil from the Guru List, 1 Passion Veil from the Daevic List, 2 Veils from the Vizier list.

PP and Essence pooled stacking, and Maneuver Progression, Powers Known, and Veils are keep separate.
The above are the the rulings the idea will use.

The Medic was just missed.

[exelsisxax]

grammatron for cryptic and Nightmare for dread. They get some awesome action econ boosters, and if you are chaining them together with initiators like zealot, psywar, and aegis you could probably pull off some truly absurd numbers of various boosts/buffs/powers used in a turn, all while making double-strikes, each attack getting both a ranged and melee attack, and basically adding every stat to everything.

[The Shadowmind]

This is what I think might work:

Soulknife: Augmented Blade/ War Soul this gets a Psycrstial as a bonus beat, Psicrystal Power Source. We don't actually care about the actual enhancement bonuses. The psycrystal joins the collective.

Aegis: Host Heroes. At lvl 3 we get 1/2 Int to Armor, +2 Int, Or Channel energy at 3, to power Divine Essence. The always chosen customization is Shape Veil, Lesser, to get a chakra at level 1, and be ahead of normal veilweaver. Confirmed to work by the FAQ thread.

Harbinger: Ravenlord. For the Smart Animal companion. With Titles from Distance shores it gives us another body to hang our veils on, and can do kung-fu in a few levels.

PsyWar: With Meditant we get Wis to AC. We could also take Aurora Soul for the Mystic instead, but you don't get the AC bonus until your first action.

Dread: Nightmare Constructor. Another body to hang veils one, helps relieve action economy problems. Sadly Fearmonger doesn't stack with the archetype, otherwise we could be more Wis focused.

Slayer: Judge for the Liberation Domain. The Freedom of Movement is a necessary, even if the rounds of use is limited.

Marksman: Adaptive Gunner/Shroud. The Hand cannons are fine backup weapon, and Invisibility for Wis rounds 4 times a day as a swift action.

Wilder: Either any surge that doesn't have a Dazed or similar effect, or Contemplative for the ability to change out powers, and more Wis focus.

Tactitan: Battlefield Medic.

Vitalist Sadist/Life Leech.

Rajah. While crown of the Sky sovereign would be nice if we could do it with WIS or INT, but it is stuck to CHA. Which means Crown of the Moonqueen becomes the no brainer option. 1/round free counter.


Main Veils would be a Riven Darts bound to the Hands chakra, for the multi-targeting standard action attack. 3d4+rider effects on 3 targets, at level 1 with Enhanced Capacity if we can find a way to spare 15 con with the limited point-buy.

[Andor13]

For Vizier I imagine Path of Ruler? Between that and Harbinger, a lot of foes are going to have saving throws of "pray for 20". Might go Telepath for Psion and just Jedi Mind trick your way through every encounter....

Is Deavic taking Passion for another minion?

[Gnaeus]

You should make his race Dragon (DSP monster class) that +1 NA/level and stat boosts would stack nicely.

Anyway, I think this character would perform as well or better than the all PF gestalt. It doesn’t seem like it would be hard to get AC of “roll a 20”, Saves of “I fail if I roll a 1 and then I counter” and 200+ force damage per round. The T1 tricks like fast movement aren’t necessary in RotRL, and as it is he has some fairly nasty minionmancy powers.

[Elricaltovilla]

Sadist and Life Leech on the Vitalist will turn your collective ability into a powerful offensive tool for you to use and protect you from painful backlash if anyone in your collective gets hurt. Combined with the other abilities you get from collective using classes, you can sneak some nasty powers on to your opponents and get bonus PP when they die.

[Gnaeus]

I think I'm going to build one just to see what it looks like. At least with the classes on the PFSRD and the supplements I own.

His AC and saves arent as great as I expected at this level. (Although saves can benefit from counters or buffs and AC can be buffed). His unbuffed stealth of +20 (+30 if he manifests chameleon) should allow him to avoid unwanted encounters or begin them with a kill. He should be able to make 2-3 attacks per round, and any hit should drop most enemies at this level. In stealth mode he effectively has 2d6 sneak attack, or in general combat mode 1d6 electric to all attacks. He has very little to do with wealth besides make tattoos. His best defense is his 22 HP, so if fights begin to look bad he can disengage (moves faster than most enemies) hide, heal and return.

[Gnaeus]

Gnaeus: I haven't looked through everything yet, but I noticed that you have encouraging roar listed twice. You can only learn a maneuver once, even across classes.

Rules that you don't learn when not making gestalts:smallsmile:. I was indeed doing that for several maneuvers. Can anyone clarify that that is in fact the rule? I see some concensus that it was in Tome of Battle, but I see some forum chatter that says that you can in PoW. Can anyone give a cite to a rule or dev that clarifies? Does that mean that having a maneuver in any class counts as a prereq for all classes?

Edit: OK. I'm convinced. Ill fix it as I update to a level 5 build. It will probably require some discipline swapping.

Edit 2: That should fix it. I just went back and picked a few disciplines for each class so no future overlap

[Andor13]

Essence of the Immortal and/or Psionic Body will give many more HP.

Also where are dragons as DSP classes from?

http://dreamscarred.com/product/monster-classes-true-dragon/

I’d say it’s a decent T3. Weaker than some of the PoW/Akashic, but well rounded and FANTASTIC in gestalt.

And no doubt. But toughness was a bonus feat from wilder and humanoid form I felt was necessary to interact with peoples, not to mention needed for the brutal half dragon form.

Aberrant aegis, psi body, and essence of the immortal is even better - especially when you consider all the akashic+psionic feats that grant essence.

[Andor13]

Aberrant Aegis, Dragon, Daevic would be horrific. So many natural attacks. All boosted by storm gauntlets and maybe forcestrike knuckles. Maybe change Warlord to Steelfist commando, grab chimera soul for one of your many initiator classes, and start abusing broken blade boosts.

[Gnaeus]

I agree, you are completely right. But from what I remember of that AP, searching archetypes is just overkill. I’m already looking at a Mindblade/spear of light/bite/wing/wing/tail/gore attack routine at the level 5 build. I’m certain he can outdamage my RotRL party combined.

Build notes: Made a couple of very minor changes from the L1 version (basically swapping out feats that he got for free later). I’m not going to make sure all those are 100% edited between builds. So, uhm, he used a little bit of retraining. Yeah. Also, I'm not saying he couldn't be improved. I'm mostly taking basic choices or choices from DSP characters I've played so I can see what it looks like. If you want to see a more optimized one go ahead and use whatever you want. As noted above, theres lots of archetypes that could improve it to varied amounts.

So this guy! In the city King Copper rolls around in human form with his posse of phantom retainers, fascinating anyone who gets too close with his sheer awesomeness, dancing the night away under the neon lights of sandpoint. Other than intimidate, his social skills aren’t amazing, but I figure intimidate, perception and sense motive should get him through the mystery parts (I don’t recall them being super hard). And of course nothing stops him from designing his veils to be a social guy on any given day.

In exploration mode he shifts to his Tiny dragon form. +37 stealth (or 47 if he spends a pp for chameleon). With Fast Stealth and Trap Spotter he should be able to navigate most dungeons at full speed. Against simple encounters he will often just stealth kill his targets (he has 5 reach with bite, or a bite/claw/claw/gore/tail natural attack. Functionally he has 3d6 sneak attack, or he can just sneak attack with a maneuver). He may just bypass traps or encounters with stealth, teleports and/or ghostwalk. He can always act in the surprise round, and has uncanny dodge/combat reflexes. If circumstances warrant, he may pulse his scent or see invisibility stances. He has flight, spider climb, water breathing constant, and water walk or swim speed are a swift action away. He has superior darkvision and 4x low light. Psionic Knock.

In combat mode he will shift up to half dragon form and TWF his mindblade and spear of light. He will enter elemental flux stance for +2 to all saves and +2d6 cold damage on his 7 attack routine. He has multiple ways to charge/pounce(and he gets extra to hit and damage when he charges) or move as a swift then full attack. (Looks like around 120 damage on an unbuffed full attack if all his attacks hit). He has reach and combat reflexes so he can play the AOO game if he wants. Or he can use flyby attack to enter a room (stealth +24, fast stealth), attack with a maneuver, then finish his movement behind cover and stealth. If circumstances allow, he can fly above enemies and destroy them with alternating energy lances and thrown attacks. He’s also a pretty decently optimized summoner, so if facing a boss he doesn’t want to solo he can expand his party with a couple of augmented astral constructs. He can also bypass fear immunity if he wants to use fear tricks. His Psycrystal lurks outside combat with a readied action to Request Aid (letting King heal himself for 15 points with no personal action expenditure). His 31 ac should be adequate for most CR 5 foes on an adventure path, but that’s unbuffed, so he can raise it quickly. Hustle power lets him buff as a move, so he can strike as a standard and buff in the same round if he doesn’t plan to full attack. Between his speed, teleports, and other movement tricks he should have little difficulty disengaging from any fight he doesn’t want to be in. His +11 init likely means that most combats will begin with a sneak attack in the surprise round then he goes first before enemies can respond and likely while they still flatfooted (And one easy trick in slightly tough fights is to share the Share Initiative feat with the psycrystal the round before the fight starts, so he has +11 and advantage on the init roll).
(In my brain, he’s one of the late stage dragon slayers from Fairy Tail guild. Light/Copper/Shadow dragon wing attack! Cold Dragon Roar!)

He has fast healing 1 at will. He can use sor/wiz items without checks, or use essence to get fake charges on cleric wands. He crafts psionic tattoos which he can then use at his full caster level. He has craft Wondrous, and a class ability that lets him summon an outsider with a magic shop! He can shift charges around in same level wands. And he can craft traps really well. Not sure how things would get so desperate that that would help, but I like to imagine a house in Sandpoint covered in snares.

ROTRL spoilers: I remember early fights with an imp that was pretty tough at the level. King will stomp him. There were some lamias as well. Not at all concerned. And some ogres with basic class levels. Not scared. Most of the hard fights for us were solo bosses, so those play to his strengths (he can easily counter one enemy every turn).

Weaknesses: Well, Knowledges are bad. Should probably take one rank from each skill and pip them all, but I don’t want to be bothered. His saves are good, but not yet quite where I want them. My other big fear would be mook swarms targeting a weakness. Like if all the ogres decided to grapple, or multiple monsters targeting fort saves. But I don’t think most things will live long enough to realize that they need to grapple the freezing dragon thing that just appeared out of nowhere in their room. And he does have counters, like ghostwalk, just not as many as I would like yet.

I was going to be done at 5. But the sick part of my brain REALLY wants to see him at level 10, so if im not too busy that will prob happen.

Assume about 30kgp gear +10k consumables, mostly tattoos. Figure 4 PCs all wind up around WBL in that adventure, and the cost of selling will more or less cancel the discount from item crafting. So:
Headband of Mental Superiority +2 (16k)
Least Akashic Catalyst (8k)
Crystal Spaulders +1 (5600)
Cloak of resist +1


I didn't bother upgrading gear. Worst case at single WBL he has another 30k gear for con and resist items. If he had the WBL of an entire party clearing the AP he's got 150-210kgp, before using CWI and craft ring and scribe tattoo. Imagine A belt of con +6, Cloak of Resist +5, an upgrade to his headband of int/cha/wis and more akashic wraps.

At this point he's unkillable by most encounters not specifically designed to hurt him. 49 walking around AC. +53 stealth when invisible and he bypasses all special senses. He can go ethereal and use ghost touch to murder people. Or full attack them with his 11 hasted attacks. Or enlarge himself and stand in the middle of a room and attack everything within reach with 2 weapons and 7 natural attacks with a strike. Or murder people with his mind. Or surround himself with antimagic and kill casters with ex attacks.

Whats the toughest thing he might fight? Mokmurian will only hit him on a 20. I can outrun him and out fight him.
