Recruiting for High Level Gestalt

[Pyrex]

If you're not full I'd also be very much interested.

What sources do you plan on allowing?

Just the SRD?
The 'Complete nnn' series?
How about Magic of Incarnum? (I've really been itching to try it out...)

 

[Lord Wyrm]

What are your thoughts on templates Lord_Wyrm?

I'm fine with templates, although certain ones aren't very good for PCs. Most WotC stuff is in my possession, otherwise email or post the template so I can look at it. (And if you want to design your own feel free.)

I think I like point buy better.

I am thinking of a young and short human fighter-monk, who was once a weak street child, that was kind of adopted by a strange and very wise man, and taught a "pure" way to fight and defend himself and others. His master one night met an old enemy. He only remembers his master telling him to run, a lightning strike and nothing else. When he woke up, he was in the mud of a street and his master was nowhere to be seen. Since then he traveled looking for his master and his enemy, helping poor good people along the way whenever and wherever he could.

Any chance stuff from Book of Exalted Deeds is allowed? I'd like to try ascetic (it's also a lot less work spent on equipment ).

I like the concept, I'm going to have some fun with that enemy.
Book of Exalted Deeds is fine, since I have the Book of Vile Darkness it should even itself out nicely.

Looks like you have more than enough players without me so I’m going to withdraw my name from consideration.

Have fun everyone!

Feel free to come back if you so choose, I can always use another player.

I would be interested in playing, if there is still room.

There's always room for more

Partial List of what's allowed:
SRD, Complete Series, Races Series, Eberron's non-setting specific material, Expanded Psionics Handbook, Magic of Incarnum, Heroes of Battle, Heroes of Horror (after christmas), any player creations (after DM approval), and the various WotC monster manuals
Other books if you ask. I may also include some AE or Iron Heroes, we'll find out on the 25th.

How many are you planning on having, then, for this campaign, Lord Wyrm? With all the interest, it looks as if this might be a very large group, indeed.

Hmm... concepts. Too many concepts. Too much potential. I'm extremely tempted to do a warlock gestalt, although I'm uncertain of what I'd do it with: ranger has an interesting flavor, but I'm not certain I can pull that off, mostly because of the sheer difference in combat styles (never mind that being a ranger/warlock with the one-level dip I have in mind for the other campaign you're running would only serve to potentially confuse me). Rogue/warlock is an obvious choice for me for quite a few reasons, although the soulknife/warlock sounds like another very interesting combination. I do have other alternatives in mind, however: monk gestalts have a bit of potential as well.

Before I decide fully, however, I'd best ask now: what, if any, are the alignment restrictions?

 

[Lord Wyrm]

No alignment restrictions. I'm nice like that
I'm thinking the upper limit of players could be 20, I have a few ways for the group to be divided so that I can run them in a parallel and the number doesn't slow me down.

 

[Lord_Raven88]

Like the others I prefer the 40 point stats gen method myself, I'll get back to you with a concept.

...I'm extremely tempted to do a warlock gestalt, although I'm uncertain of what I'd do it with...

While it may not be completely optimal, I've been intrigued by the concept of a Warlock/Spellthief. Other Warlock/ combos you might consider: /Fighter (ranged combat feats), /PsyWarrior (lots of nifty tricks), or to really go for some out-there good(?!)ness; /DreadNecromancer. Food for thought...


As for myself I'm seriously leaning towards a NG Druid/Incarnate as conceptually they seem to meld well for me.

 

[Azaar]

Cool deal. As far as stats go... I'm very tempted to say the 5d6/drop lowest two option, but if the majority goes with 40-point buy, I'm fine with that as well. After all, at level 10 we also have 2 ability increases to help out.

Alas, I don't have Heroes of Horror. Otherwise I'd take a look-see, mostly because I actually enjoy playing necromancers -- if not the specialist themselves, a generalist who leans towards the study of necromancy.

 

[Lord_Raven88]

No, although your LA, and monster hit dice, only count along one class 'track' so you will have BA and Hit Dice from those levels.

Can you clarify this please, as I'm thinking about using a LA template.

 

[Ferrix]

I'm either looking at a couple of concepts:

1) Elf archer type - hero of the elvish people
2) Elf champion of corellon/dervish type - hero of the elvish people.

See a theme?

or

3) A character with one side a fighting class, the other side templates.

Can you clarify this please, as I'm thinking about using a LA template.

You have two sides to your gestalt build, level adjustment and racial hd can occupy one side of that build.
