Gestalt Artificer and ?

[DM-Rocco]

I am soon to start as a player in a D&D campaign and the DM is going with Gestalt characters. He has okayed any D&D source book, including Dragon magazines (only thing not allowed is Psionics, he has a misconception that it is broken ).

I really want to try the Artificer for sure, but what else?

My first thought was Wizard for extra spells and bonus feats, but I was also thinking of a fighter style class.

What would you suggest?

Figure that I would do 20 levels of Artificer, so what other class(es) would you recommend?

Duskblade man. You can fight AND cast spells/infusions!

No way you can lose out, especially if you take Battle Caster as one of your feats (so you can get Heavy armor)

 

[Nifft]

I assume you'll be playing a Warforged?

Fighter.
Druid.
Cleric.

[Nightfall]

Come Nifft, be a little more creative.

Maybe Warlock perhaps?

Hey, Heavy Armor is fun. Artificer + Cleric or Druid or Fighter = Power Game. Gestalt + Power Game = MEGADOOM!!!1!

Every true man wants some nice melted MEGADOOM!!!1! on his burger, right?

Artificer | Warlock: You can make *anything* from lvl 12 on.

Warforged Artificer | Psion: Egoist or Shaper. Egoist fits the "Self-improvement" thing, 'forged Shapers can heal themselves from lvl 3+.

Edit: I just noticed what you said about your DM's belief that Psionics is borken. Thats too bad.

Basketweaver for teh win!!!!!!!1!!

Uhm yeah...

Nifft,

Well true you can infuse while in heavy armor, I think casting spells (arcane wise) is better with say Duskblade or at least using Invocations along with infusions.

Something with full BAB and some skill points. Ranger or swashbuckler might be kind of fun!
