Gestalt Combinations that I thought of during class.


Homebrew and House Rules


So when I get stressed out I build characters and this semester has been particularly stressful. Here is a collection of gestalt class combos that I would like to play eventually. Some of these I think if mathed out could be really effective. Though some of them are MAD as hell. As a GM I try to play encourage people to choose flavor over min/maxing, though as character I try to balance the two. Anyway thats the backstory so here are combos feel free to add to, make suggestions, and let me know what you think.

Beast Rider
Barbarian (Superstitious; Mounted Furry) + Fighter (Unbreakable) + [Level 30 PrC: Mammoth Lord]
- This one I was trying to make some kind of just unstoppable Warlord.

Android Destroyer
Sorcerer [Nanite Blood Line] + Fighter (Child of War) + VMC: Magus + [Level 30 PrC: Eldritch Knight]
- I was trying to make a bad guy for my Starfinder campaign that I have been running. I'm just sad that the Cybersoldier archetype didn't stack with Child of War.

Living Shadow
Race: Drow
Sorcerer (Shadow Bloodline) + Ninja + [Level 30 PrC: Shadow Dancer]
- Thematically I really like this one because your character after awhile just becomes a living shadow that literally no one can find. Would also make a good Big Bad for a campaign... or I think so at least

Eternal Flame
Race: Ifrit
Sorcerer (Elemental Fire Bloodline){or Bloodrager with same bloodline} + Oracle of Fire + [Level 30 PrC: Mystic Theurge]
- FIIIIRRRRREEEE... shut up I know that Kineticists exist and to honest could probably replace either class.

Black Bow
Magus (Eldritch Archer) + Monk (Zen Archer) + [Level 30 PrC: Arcane Archer]
- Just all the arrows. It would be fun to play as it would do a s!+% ton of damage... probably I'm an art student, I don't do math.

Living Suit
Summoner (Synthesist) + Vigilante (Avenger)
- Thematically it makes a lot sense and it sort of combines Beast Boy and Tony Stark... not that anyone asked for that.

Hate Witch
Race: Half-Orc
Witch (Scarred Witch Doctor) + Barbarian (Urban Barbarian) {This only works Pre-Erratta}
- I built one of these before and it was frightening and it was only one level of Barb. She wrecked shop

Ragathiel’s Vengeance
Race: Assimar (Angel Blooded)
Slayer + Inquisitor (Cold Iron Warden) + {VMC: Paladin would add nice flavor} + [Level 30 PrC Crimson Templar]
- This has a lot of flavor to it and thats why I like it

Green Lantern Kinda
Fighter (Unbreakable) + Vigilante (Warlock)
- I am not sure... I kinda threw it together.

Relentless Combatant
Barbarian (Dreadnaught; Invulnerable Rager) + Fighter (Unbreakable)
- This sounded scary as hell and almost impossible to bring down. And again thematic as hell

True Warlock
Vigilante (Warlock) + Magus (Armored Battlemage)
- Pathfinder has no true warlock so this sorta makes up for it

Zoro
Vigilante (Avenger) + Swashbuckler
- I picture a Nathan Fillion-esque dashing rogue type

Urban Hunter
Vigilante (Stalker) + Slayer (Bounty Hunter)
- This is one of those that has a cool idea but I couldn't think of cool name

Red Hulk
Vigilante (Brute) + Bloodrager (Bloodline: Elemental Fire)
- Half of Christmas Hulk

[bHulk[/b]
Vigilante (Brute) + Barbarian (Invulnerable Rager)
- I actually built this for a gestalt campaign that never got played

Hawkeye
Fighter (Archer) + Vigilante (Stalker)
- Hawkeye is my favorite superhero so I thought I'd try to remake it... Some how.

Roosevelt
Fighter (Roughrider) + Vigilante (Mounted Fury)
- Ghost Riderish... I made this a while ago so not sure what I was going for

Jonah
1 Wizard (Spell Slinger)/Sorcerer (Arcane Bloodline) + Gunslinger(Mysterious Stranger) + [Level 30 PrC: Grand Marshal]
- Spells and Guns, basically a ranged one man wrecking crew

Ancient One
Unchained Monk + Druid + [Level 30 PrC: Green Faith Acolyte]
- Alignment is limiting but say good by to aging

Holy Spektor
Gray Paladin + Ninja + [Level 30 PrC: Gray Warden]
- This was the first I made and can't for the life of me remember why


What do you mean by 'Level 30 PrC'? Those classes could qualify a lot earlier, especially in gestalt.

Hawkeye should have grenadier alchemist on one side. It does his trick arrows a lot better. Also weapon master fighter > archer fighter since advanced weapon training became possible.

Brute vigilante is brokenly bad; there are other ways of getting big in PF, use them instead.

There's a reincarnated druid archetype which can ignore aging from level 5. Reincarnating makes you a young adult again. Unchained monk on the other side, sure, they can easily find themselves without their equipment.

I'm not sure why Jonah is taking some sorcerer levels, or how many given there's gunslinger on the same side. What do you have in mind there?

Vigilante (Warlock) + Magus (Armored Battlemage) seems like a bad idea. Warlock vigilante doesn't get any ability to cast in medium or heavy armor, so you'd effectively lose their spellcasting in combat. Basically any other magus archetype would work better.

Child of War (aka Child of Acavna and Amaznen) doesn't work well. Some sort of bloodrager would be strictly better, and with nanite bloodline sorcerer on the other side of the gestalt you must have enough Cha for that.

I’m not saying that these are the best combo of all time. I am just saying that they might be fun some of them I know would work like Living Shadow. But some or most I wasn’t going what would work the best. I appreciate the feed back though. Also to the level 30 thing I am really into the idea that after 20 you can continue playing and have it be thematic. I hope my lack of min/max ability didn’t offend you.
