[QUOTE="Malum, post: 2921096, member: 39429"] My other post about Psions/ Elocaters sparked a question about campaigns with gestalt builds. In these campaigns our gaming groups have gone Gestalt, it’s like a trend were going thru. The following are all gestalt campaigns started in the past 6 months, heavy hitting, high intensity lots of action sometimes w/ several combats in a days time; 1 campaign of Elite charisma followers serving a lordship, 1 lawful evil campaign where they are a lordship, 1 campaign of adventures “heroes for hire”. The other gaming groups in my area have several more gestalt campaigns that I do not participate. Our core group tends to keep campaigns “magical lite” with emphases on the pc’s abilities, skills, attributes, spells and feats not that of the magicals, so it is to this extent that I enjoy our Gestalt builds and our gestalt campaigns, where the pc’s are truly outstanding. Any of you running or playing in a gestalt campaign? If yes, I would be interested in seeing your builds thus far, just the basics, class selection etc. The reason I ask is I have noticed in gestalt campaigns it has been very popular to pick a psionic class and of that the elocater seems to be very popular, and I know why, if its coupled w/ a martial class like fighter that gives it good all around saves, max bab, and 7/10 progression. Some players have picked /rogue/psion-elocater some monk like I was saying out of the 50 pc’s made in the past 6 months 15 have Psionics and 10 of those went with elocater So my question is if you had the reins taken off and you had access to forgotten realms, faurun, core books, d20 all the quintessentials basically all the books, all legitimate classes & prcs, & you were to build a 10th level gestalt pc what would you build?
