Where should I go from here?
« on: November 08, 2011, 05:59:34 AM »
I am playing in a gestalt D&D campaign right now. Our DM told us that she would ignore LA for one race/template of our choice, so I decided to make a pixie. Character right now is:

(click to show/hide)

I don't really know where I want to go with the character from here, though. I'm considering going into Swiftblade down the road, but I'm unsure. Suggestions?

4 levels of Warblade+song of the White Raven feat then go into Sublime Chord for 1 level and then Jade Phoenix Mage.

Can you use Jade Phoenix Mage in gestalt?  I thought hybrid classes were forbidden.

Missed the gestalt part :-[
Ignore the JPM part then. But the Warblade and Song of the White Raven is still pretty good.

What alignment do you have? Going Hellreaver would be nice with 22 Cha, but you'd have to get a +5 to strength to qualify for the needed Power Attack. Some DMs allow items to qualify for Feats as long as you keep the item. Otherwise you could think about Abjurant Champion + some class with many skill points (Uncanny Trickster if dual PrCing is allowed).

Do you happen to know what the rest of the party is playing?

And is there a limit to the free LA?

Yeah, getting to ignore the LA for something like Monster of Legend would be really amazing.  With 5 levels of cleric casting (at level 3?) it is hard to go wrong.

Something inside me dies when I see the word fallacy applied to ideas held about roleplaying. And a small bit of vomit comes up when I see a character called a 'toon'.

Paragon?
That should even make a monk possible. But I don't really think so.

Maybe if we add Pseudonatural too.

I'm Chaotic Good. I just looked up Hellreaver, and it does seem pretty cool. I think there is a Barbarian ACF that gives you Power Attack for free; I might have to look into that in the morning and see if the DM will let me retcon it.  :p

Do you happen to know what the rest of the party is playing?

And is there a limit to the free LA?

The rest of the party is a Catfolk Druid, a Warforged Artificer, and a Human Wizard, who actually is taking the Monster of Legend template, just to be ridiculous. And the free LA is limited to one race/template, barring DM approval.

A swift blade pixie would be amazing, that would be a fine road for your character to follow. On the other side levels of swordsage could work out nicely to enhance your melee abilities.
