I am also considering taking the Elan race and then applying the template.

I was thinking of going Monk on the other side of the gestalt. Caster is due to my love of the caster style, Monk's grabbling style would be good though. Was thinking on Gillman as a race because I always saw Illithids as heavily aquatic.
Alright so I wanted to play an illithid but the 15 level monster class is way to much and of course just playing one gives way to big of a bonus. So the DM suggested the Half-Illithid and its CR is 3. For a level 5 game this means my character would be a level 2. But we are allowed the Cr buy off method of every three levels I can buy off a Cr with a class level at 3 and again at 6th level. I heard its suppose to be half your CR rounded down but my DM is allowing the CR buyoff so at level 9 I buy off all my cr I am just gonna be a level behind the party. What classes are best suited for a Half-Illithid I was thinking Arcanist and just fluff it as psionics. My DM likes Psionics but Psion doesn't seem as powerful and unless I talk him into a STP Erudite I am gonna miss out on a lot of my favorite spells. This is a gestalt game, but the other side really does not matter as much I am more worried about my caster side. |
