Paladin Gestalt insane build


Advice


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Here's the situation. Our group rolled for a special Template. We are starting Carrion Crown. I don't know anything about it so NO SPOILERS!!!

Here's the special template:
1. All stats start at 22
2. Nothing can modify my stats (no spells/items), nothing.
3. My stats go up by 1/2 per level. So level 2, all stats will be 23.
4. I am Gestalt.

I was thinking of Aasimar but the ability bonus's would not apply. 20pt racial builds and under.

I already said that I am going Paladin all the way (maybe oath of vengance). So that takes up one part of my gestalt. I wanted to go Monk 1 level. And then Blossoming Cleric possibly the rest of the way.

My concept was Jesus Christ. So he will be a champion to the people and help those in need. Being a bad ass in combat and blessing/healing. All with no armor. I didn't want Enlightened Paladin because it stunts my Smite Evil ability and changes a few other things. Which god?

I tossed around a Kensai Magus after the monk level as well. Or Sacred Fist Warpriest instead of monk.

What does the masses think? The goal is not to be OP, I already am with my stats. But some good solid builds. But all builds are welcome.

My game starts THIS SUNDAY!!! I have plenty of time till level 2, I'm just trying to get some ideas...


Paladin + oracle (side step secret) works really well as a gestalt.


Water Dancer Monk for the other side: you add cha twice to AC, a kinetic blast for ranged combat, all good saves and the ability to walk on water for that jesus theme.

Well, you're already not OP by refraining from a gestalt Bloodrager/Scarred Witch Doctor.


I second the water dancer vote. Just dont take sidestep secret or nature's whisper with it because it wont be compatible.

you might want to consider a couple of levels in life oracle though for life link. a spirit guide archetype would net you a wandering spirit like a shaman at level 4, so you have access to all sorts of nifty new spells. plus you can use your second level oracle spell slots on shield other so that you can save your paladin slots for more useful things.

since youre going to be jesus, you may as well have the ability to UNAMBIGUOUSLY 100% WITHOUT FAIL determine the guilt or innocence of people accused of crimes unjustly in your travels too. (well, there's technically a fail state if they have anti-divinations up, but it has a different behaviour so its still quite telling). behold the very small at only 3 levels prestige class INHERITOR'S CRUSADER

that's about all i got just now, but thats a good few options you've been cumulatively presented with :)


enlightend paladin 20, scaled fist monk 1, sacred fist war priest 19, cha as an untyped to ac, wis as untyped to ac, cha as dodge to ac


If all of your stats are 22 and increase only by leveling, then it literally doesn't matter what the other side of your gestalt is. You can't boost CHA anymore than you could boost any other score, so it's worthless to stick with a CHA based build as you would in a normal Gestalt.

As such, the best thing you could probably do is try to fix up weaker areas in the Paladin Chassis. For this, I vote Investigator. Investigator gives you perfect saves, has tons of skill points, and has the strongest self-buff in the game, Studied Combat, which uses a bonus type the Paladin doesn't normally have access to (insight).

Why not show your devotion to the Angels by being a Druid?


This is a weird idea. Do a kinda naked and untouchable. My idea would be: enlighted fist paladin 20/Monk 1, kensai magus 19.

Charecter AC: becomes: 10 + Dex + Wisdom + Charecter level (max cha) + charecter level -1 (max int)


So rage won’t increase str/con? Enlarge person won’t increase str? Do pet classes have the same stats on their pets?

I see no reason not to go full on monk, maybe brawler if you want to fight bare handed. I would take into consideration some kind of ranged attack.

If you aren’t married to fighting with your fist a player in a recent game of mine played a paladin/kinticist which worked pretty well.


I would do a build that got DEX, INT, WIS, CHA to AC; CHA to AC (deflection); CHA to AC dodge (osyluth guile); CHA to AC armor (obedience).

Kensai (INT to AC)
Scaled fist monk (CHA to AC)
Sacred fist warpriest (WIS to AC)

At level 20 all stats at 32; +11 bonus

AC = 10 + 11 (armor) +11 (int) +11 (dex) +11 (wis) +11 (cha) +5 natural + 1 insight = 71

Situational mods +11 deflection smite evil; +11 dodge osyluth guile.
