Greetings and good morrow folks,

I have been a part of the same tabletop group for about 7 years and we have a tonne of fun. We have made the tough decision to retire our current level 16 Mythic/Gestalt group. We are creating a brand new crew.

Problem I am having is that in the forty years I have played (and DMd), I have always had groups that focused on character and ROLEplay. This is my first group that really works the min/MAX angle, they certainly roleplay too but the power is to the max first. It caused a fair bit of discomfort on my part the last campaign (fighter cleric does 700 dmg to bad guy - my halfling summoner/cavalier did 88 lol - she did a lot of buffing too, but still not optimized ) so I would like to have a character sheet that does the best for the group I can, but I will be honest, I find all the 'flavour' and get distracted from numbers. So here I am, seeking some 'numbers' folks to give a gal a hand (pretty please).

Stat Array: 18, 18, 16, 14, 14, 12
Level 3
Current characters in group: one undecided, a Kitsune paladin/oracle and a Catfolk psychic/slayer
Sources: pretty much anything not completely broken, so PF1e, D&D or 3rd Party (Our DM is amazing )
Race: I was originally thinking of another Halfling, but that is not set in stone.
Class: Ranger/Inquisitor has synergy and should be fun to story with

Does anyone with the gift for creating the best min/max gifted characters have some time to spare me?

With puppy dog eyes and sincere gratitude,
Deb

Edit: Almost forgot - we are doing a heavily modified Age of Worms campaign

Greetings folks,

I have been playing RPGs since the 80s :D but I am really struggling building my second Gestalt character. And, honestly, my DM did most of the heavy lifting in my first character. I am also prone in campaigns to make characters for fun and flavour rather than optimizing, so correction is welcomed.

So, I am building a Female Human Paladin/Bard, focus on buffing and healing but don't want to be fragile :D

Restrictions for this campaign:
You will begin level 1
You will have two traits to pick as part of character generation.
You may only pick from Core Classes. (Note Not using Unchained Classes)
NPC classes do not exist in this world
You may not ever have more than 4 classes so pick wisely
Starting spells must be from the Core Rulebook.
We will be using Background Skills

So far I have chosen:

Deity (homebrew):
Gadya NG Lady of Light Life Community, Good, Healing, Sun Cooperation, Friendship, Restoration, Light Spear

Stats (25 point buy):
Str: 14
Dex: 13
Con: 14
Int: 12
Wis: 10
Cha: 16 +2 for being human

Was thinking Focused Mind and Sacred Touch for Traits

Deny the Reaper and Magical Aptitude

Longsword and Leather armour (for now)

Is this a good mix?

Thank you kindly for any assistance :D

With a smile,
