Hmm... Skalds don't actually get any passive stuff I can think of, though. And Warlord is probably the most support-focused class of those three.

It's pretty much impossible to pick a class that doesn't do SOMETHING (except maybe like, fighter?).Dude... have you ever played a fighter? (But yeah, a lot of their good archetypes use swift actions as well, which is where the *real* action economy issues show up in gestalt).
"I am completely and totally reliant on full attacks" means that when you grab Fighter for a gestalt, it's for the passive bonuses (armor and weapon proficiencies, armor training, weapon training, etc) and NOT because you're really psyched to spend all your turns standing in place and full attacking.

Yeah it's not flawless, but it's not like I'm completely reliant on having all of those abilities up at once. If we're fighting something dangerous and evil, I'll start by smiting and then using elemental attack the next rounds. If I get seriously injured, I'll use my lay on hands. The choice to use elemental attack is reliant on the question "Is it dangerous as well as either not evil or already being smited and do you not need to heal yourself right now?" If the answer is yes, use elemental assault.
Also if it comes down to a really gritty fight I may make the appeal to use a more time consuming action (such as move or standard) in order to use more than one of these abilities in a given round, which is a long-standing argument that RAW says no to but everybody's common sense says yes to.

Sorry, "I stand in place and full attack" may be the standard routine for a Barbarian, Cavalier, Rogue, Paladin, Ranger, or Swashbuckler, but no decent fighter build would ever.... nah, not worth having the argument here. Picking fighter as one of your three gestalts would up your number of feats in this game from 40 to about 55, but also let you spend a lot of those feats on things otherwise unavailable.

[dice=Height]2d4 4'2+5inch=4'7
[Dice=Weight]2d4 6*5=30+85=115What do you want us to about ages? Since the stasis made things odd
yeah just regular starting age. You didn't age while in the plane, and I don't want to do anything special with age brackets for mental scores or the like.

And I'm totally going to make the most of that. Also, at higher levels I get to move all over the place AND full attack. Yay!

Survey time, how many people are out there that are still considering submitting a character yet? I did not keep track of all who rolled stats but did not submit yet, vs those who opted out etc.
Just trying to get a handle on things. Quite a few submissions so far, so I am trying to gauge when I should set a deadline. I may go for sooner rather than later considering we have quite a few interested. Easily enough to fill two tables even with some attrition.

I vote sooner than later, just because the longer the wait, the more I will think about tweaks to my submission, and the more indecisive I will become about it.

@CaveToad - Have you had any further thoughts on how you'll handle the Medusa's petrification?
Just get some sunglasses, then make terrible CSI:Miami style one liners after you petrify somebody.
Greebins: "That guy was foolish to fight us"
Tayanalla "Yeah, he must have been STONED" YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH!
I'm fired.

The petrification, as you wrote it, only applies for one round, making it a slightly better than a monk's stunning fist. Arguably treating them as a stone object (immune to conditions, crits, treated as an object with hardness) for a round would take out anything too broken about it.

I agree with this. I've pretty much nailed down what I want with Tor, but the longer I go the more I will want to fiddle with things for no real reason. D:

I am done although I will probably continue to refine fluff until the selection process and maybe afterwards. I am happy with this character in making the best out of his weaknesses and compensate those weaknesses with his strengths. I made him as adaptable as I could and he is probably going to become more so as time progresses and the group levels.

Out of curiosity, just how big is this demi-plane? Was Goodwin a mcgruffin with a larger than possible demi-plane? Even at 20th level, there would be a finite size and cost to a demi-plane.
I ask because if it is too large, then the probability that we know each other goes down.
No probability needs to be figured, we know each other

Hmm. I actually have a question about the setting. What is it about Catfolk that have them generally regarded as evil by the inhabitants of the world? I've always envisioned them as of a fairly neutral leaning...
It would help me with the fluff (I've been a little stumped on fleshing out Greebins' background)

I am quite interested in joining, but I need to read through all the rules first.
I am thinking either a barbarian/summoner/something(ninja or vivisectionist or warlord probably) using undersized mount(can I do that?) or a white haired witch/magus/something. I also want to figure out how to play a caster, but without factotum actions are going to be the limit. Those ideas might change though.
Let's see if I can figure out the dice roller on here:
5d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 3, 5) = 19
5d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 5, 1, 5) = 18
5d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 1, 1) = 13
5d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 2, 5, 4) = 20
5d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 4, 5, 5) = 23
5d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6, 6, 3) = 23
5d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 2, 2, 4) = 20
14

+10 extra. 8 short of maximum.

Heya CaveToad, you mentioned bringing in PoW:Expanded stuff once it left beta.
I have a vision for an archer devote of Saranrae for whom the sacred light/fire/glory aspects of the (still in beta) Phoenix Champion PrC would just be too perfect.
I wouldn't be able to take it until 6th level at any rate...but they haven't announced a release date yet and I'm wondering (since it's pretty core to this concept) if you're open to using it in beta form, if we get to 6th before it gets published?
If not I'll start to entertain some other concepts.
EDIT
Thinking making him a Wyvaran would be pretty apropos to this overall theme. Is it possible to spend more RP to improve his flight, as per:
Prerequisites: None.
Benefit: Members of this race have a fly speed of 30 feet with clumsy maneuverability.
Special: This trait can be taken more than once. For each additional 2 RP spent, the race's fly speed increases by +10 feet, and the maneuverability improves by one step.
Thanks!
