Stat Array: 18, 18, 16, 16, 17, 12 [Yes I rolled these, yes it was confirmed by the DM of the game, it was a random number generator that my DM then proceeded to test for 10 minutes with repeated rolls that all landed much much lower then these. Total number of this array is 97, most never go above 79]
Its a CR2 creature so I must play it at level 3. This will be a Gestalt Campaign starting at level 5 (Retrain the first five levels to indicate a time jump and training during it in our new field)
So I want to play a character who can work with his racial abilities but also stand on his own as a proper gentlemen and swordsmen. I was thinking Swashbuckler hits this perfectly.
Now of course constant shillelagh is nice being able to pick up a stick and go to town, but I do need a proper blade.
And we are allowed to use Dreamscarred Press material so Deadly Agility works with Weapon Finesse, which Swashbuckler gets for free, to add Dex to damage with anything that is weapon finessed.
I think I will likely be carrying a Short Sword so I can pick up Piranha Strike to add even more damage.
So that covers my RHD feats, I am not sure I would get a feat at ECL 3, or have to wait till 5th.
We do use Flaws in the game we are playing so I can take up to 2 Flaws and get two feats, though not sure if I get to pick my RHD feats or if its always Weapon Finesse and Improved Initiative.
We use Buyoff System similar to Unearthed Arcana's LA buyoff, we buy off CR using that table
What class to Gestalt with this? What feat and gear suits a Leprechaun best when he is brash, arrogant, and loves to play tricks.
He could maybe go bard to focus on perform(oratory), and befuddle people with both words and actions.
If you're playing a particularly good kind of leprechaun, which admittedly is unlikely, then I'd suggest looking into the chevalier prestige class.
What do you mean to Good Kind of Leprechaun?
As in someone who is a good person over all? Yes he will likely be kind to most, but very tricky and like to torment those who deserve it in his eyes.
Bard would go well with Swashbuckler, but we do have a Bard in our current party, but I could look for a few of the archetypes that trades out the singing thing, maybe a selfish bard build. I just don't recall those archetypes off the top of my head.
