Please Help with a Factotum/? Gestalt Build

[Gray Lensman]

Thanks, I keep hearing about the Crystal Keep Files but had no idea where to find it.

Going with Gray Elf because of the Fire Elf's weakness against cold and water et al. and with keep going into the mountains will be in icy environs soon.

[MENTION=98256]kitcik[/MENTION]: Thanks, will take one of the elves and maybe drop a stat or two to up CON. Rather take the + to DEX and Fix CON as possible.

Think I will kinda start a race compendium of my own after this, I went straight to the Races books and Campaign Guidebooks, didn't even consider going back to the basic books .

You know you love Humans.

Okay, Now to start the build

Female Gray Elf (MM p 103 +2 Int, +2 Dex,-2 Str, -2 Con)

Factotum 4/Wizard 4 Gestalt

Ability Scores (4D6 drop lowest X 7 Drop Lowest) using DiceMage

16, 17, 15, 10, 14, 13, 12 (dropping the 10)

STR 12 (14 Rolled -2 Racial)
DEX 17 (15 Rolled +2 Racial)
CON 14 (16 Rolled -2 Racial)
INT 20 (17 Rolled +2 Racial +1 Level Boost)
WIS 13 (13 Rolled)
CHA 12 (12 Rolled)

Got lucky with the dice rolls so the CON and STR penalties don't really hurt at all.

Skills needed and helpful feats should be fairly straight forward with this one. I'll post the whole those lists and equipment spells when I get it done.

Much Apreciated Folks

Aw shucks, why bother to even list them.

If you're really that worried about armor, just use mage armor/shield. It covers more than just normal armor, and Factotum lets you add your Int anyways. If you're really that worried, grab a level of spellsword to reduce spell failure chance, and some mithril twilight armor. Mithril being in the PHB, Twilight, I think, being in the Book of Exalted Deeds. If you're worried about overlap with the sorcerers, I'd check what kind of spells they choose. If possible, a Diviner would be useful, and very complementary with skillmonkeying. As for replacing Still Spell, Extend is neat.

These are just suggestions, of course.

[MENTION=6673175]xigbar[/MENTION]: She flies in Sunday night and the first session isn't till Wednesday, so she has time to pick or redo anything she doesn't like and I don't really have anymore time to mess with it.

I have a few other things about the campaign to go over with her anyway.

I do appreciate everyones input though since Optimization ISN'T one of my strongpoints.
