[QUOTE="foxwick, post: 2763584, member: 25577"] Next weekend I'm flying back to Vancouver for a company Xmas party, and while there I'll be hooking up with my old gaming group for a one-shot adventure. The DM has instructed us to make 8th level Gestalt characters. I volunteered to be the party healer again*, and the DM has said "There will be undead & demonic types". *The last time I was in town we did the same thing and I played a Cleric 6/Paladin 2, thrown together a couple of hours before we played. His particulars: [code] Name: Vale Thunderright Class: Cleric 6/Paladin 2 Race: Human Size: M Gender: M Alignment: LG Deity: Heironeous Str: 14 +2 Level: 8 XP: 28000 Dex: 12 +1 BAB: +5 HP: 52 Con: 11 +0 Grapple: +7 Dmg Red: -/- Int: 11 +0 Speed: 15' Spell Res: -- Wis: 18 +4 Init: +1 Spell Save: -- Cha: 14 +2 AC: 24 Spell Fail: --% Base Armor Shld Dex Size Nat Misc Total Armor: 10 +9 +4 +1 +0 +0 +0 24 Touch: 11 Flatfooted: 23 Base Mod Misc Total Fort: +7 +0 +2 +9 Ref: +2 +1 +2 +5 Will: +5 +4 +2 +11 Weapon Attack Damage Critical Keen Longsword +1 +9 1d8+3 17-20x2 Languages: Common --Cleric-- Turn Undead (5/day) Domains: Good, War --Paladin-- Aura of Good (Ex) Detect Evil (Sp) Smite Evil (Su) (1/day) Divine Grace (Su) Lay on Hands (Su) Feats: * Weapon Focus (Longsword) - from War Domain * Combat Casting * Toughness * Toughness * Toughness Skills Ranks Mod Misc Total Concentration 11 +11 Diplomacy 5 +2 +2 +9 Heal 4 +4 +2 +10 Knowledge (Religion) 8 +8 Sense Motive 5 +4 +9 Magic Items Cost Weight Longsword, Keen +1 8000gp 4 lb Shield, Hvy, steel +2 4000gp 15 lb Periapt of Wisdom 4000gp - Full Plate +1 1000gp 50 lb Wand of CMW 4500gp - Gauntlets of Ogre Power 4000gp 2 lb [/code] Be gentle on the ridicule - I had never built a Cleric before and only had a PHB and a short amount of time. The Toughness feats were due to crappy HP rolls, IIRC. We were granted the normal 27000gp for an eighth level starting character, but told all mundane stuff was free - same deal this time around. Now, I've never built a Gestalt character, so I'm a little lost pulling everything together. I was originally thinking a straight Cleric/Paladin (because I don't have much time), but now I'm considering Favoured Soul and some cherrypicked Fighter or Marshall levels. Any ideas or guidance anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. :) [/QUOTE]
