How is one supposed to determine the base save bonuses for a multiclassed gestalt character? Vilya'll be Bard/Fighter 12 and Bard/Dervish 9, which'll mean base saves of +8 on all saves for the first 12 levels. But then it gets muddy.

factional saves on pg. 73... I highly suggest we go with these... I've been doing Bry with them.

I have a template excel doc you can use if you’re interested.

Both bard and dervish have strong Ref and Will saves. Thus, for eight levels of those, you get +2 to Fort, +4 to Ref, +4 to Will, plus the +2 to Ref and Will that a dervish gets for the 1st level, totaling to +2 F, +6 R, +6 W. After 20th level, you get a +1 at every even level, regardless of what classes you take.

PA, silly question... I know we where a 32 point buy it now before hand but with the increasing need for more diverse abilities do to trying to maintain two classes would it be insane of me to ask about bumping it up to a 36 point buy?

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

32 seems more than sufficient to me, given the plethora of ability-boosting options available. I reserve 36 point buy for campaigns in which magic is seldom available; this is not such a campaign.

Very true, I shouldn't have asked but Dalamar was to scared too so I was doing him a favor...

PA, a serious question this time, how much do you see the pegasus seeing use? Trying to figure out if the mounted combat feat is worth it or not... Also does anyone know of any good sources for mount magic items?

How much use the mount sees depends on how much effort you want to spend on making sure you use it. You're certainly capable of arranging many, if not all, encounters so that a flying steed can be brought into play; the question is simply whether you consider it worth the effort.

Okay, I do plan on spending a small fortune on this mount so consider there the attempt in the effort.

I have one more question... My caster level for Favored Soul has suffered some cause of the gestalt rules. Favored Soul is on the "other side" of the Heartwarder levels, its replacing paladin levels... With the rules that you only get the best for each level there was no point in ever adding the Heartwarder spell levels to the Favored Soul cause only one counts so I'm casting levels on a 20th level paladin and only a 12 level favored soul...

I would be willing to remove the heartwarder levels from the paladin side, those going to 12 level casting and give them to the favored soul when they don't over lap each other but I can only do if I use two PrCs at the same time... Which is a "no no" according to the book... But if you allow it I could be 15th level caster for the Favored Soul...

I understand if you say no.

PA, how do you feel about this magic item from magic of the Faerûn..?

Battle Bridle: This fine leather bridle aids a rider and mount, giving the rider using the bridle a,+10 competence bonus on all Ride checks and allowing him to fight as if he had the Mounted Combat feat. If the rider already has the Mounted Combat, he can act as if he had the Ride-By Attack.

Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Mounted Combat feat, Ride-By Attack feat, calm animals; Market Price: 9,000 gp; Weight.- 1 lb.

I'm going to have mounted combat btw.
