DISCLAIMER: I am not looking to DM this concept. I'm just a player.
For a while now, I've thought about how a party of gishes - not ultra-optimized, CL 30+ at 20th level gishes, mind, but those who actually might be missing a few caster levels - would work. They're consistently among the most popular concepts in board discussions around D&D fora, and have long been a personal favorite.
I'd like to see how such a group would work as a unit against normal-to-hard encounters, from somewhere in the ECL 2 - 4 range to (hopefully) up to the mid-teens.
Would this be of interest to others here? Is there someone who'd be willing to DM it? Thanks for reading.
-
If this gets somewhere, I call dibs on a Swiftblade!
I don't care if I'm the only one or if the entire party is Swiftblades, I want one!
-
I'd be primarily interested in a JPM, personally.
-
I'm aching for a binder; I hear they can gish fairly well. So let's see.
-
I'm too busy to do so myself, but I'd love if someone would test out a Ritual Warrior (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=1268.0) for me.

If homebrew's in, I'll go for it. Otherwise, something psionic, maybe?
-
Pray tell, who will DM?
I would like to try the Paladin/Sorcerer/Abjurant Champiion mix sometime!
-
I'd like to go for a more rogue-ish gish. Something like spellthief/wizard/unseen seer/maybe incantatrix if it's not too strong for the group.
-
This could be interesting, not sure what I'd play though.
-
This could be interresting. I'd be interested in a bardic gish, or a psionic one using the Voce warrior in Hyperconscious. Killing through voice basically.
both should be dragonblooded, for a very obvious reason ...
"But, there is one they fear.
In their tongue, they call him Dovahkiin.
DRAGONBORN !"

Personally I have always been interested in what sort of divine gish you could pull off (decent BAB without needing to rely on spells) or even a dual casting gish.
Divine: Crusader/Cleric/Ruby Knight Vindicator I suppose, more emphasis on the crusader. Could use another divine class (shudenja?)
Dual: something with fochlucan lyrist...
Bard 1/Druid 4/Green Whisperer 3/Spelldancer 2/Fochlucan Lyrist 10?
Bard 7/Master Thrower 2/Druid 1/Sublime Chord 2/Fochlucan Lyrist 8
The problem that is going to come up is how difficult it is to make a gish at ECL 2-4, most need their PRCs to be any good. You don't usually see effective Gish characters till level 10 or so.
Possibly also a monk-gish
Wizard 3/Monk 2/Enlightened fist 9/Abjurant Champion 5/Dragon Slayer 1
Problem is you only get to caster level 16 by the end, not what I really aim for from a gish.
-
No no, stop tempting me into more games. This certainly would be a wild ride of a game.
-
Another 'gish' idea I've been toying with is monk/ardent/imithid slayer or sanctified mind, using Ardent's weird method of determining powers known to stay at max level powers.
-
I'd be interested in something like this!
-
Still no DMs, of course. :eh
-
So, I don't suppose I could cajole, beg, etc. one of those posting interest to consider DMing?
-
This is of course the issue with making concepts you arent willing to DM yourself.
I could do some sort of arena but I don't really have the time these days to run a proper campaign.
