Hello everyone, I'm here to try and pick the brain of the community. I've been playing almost every classes possible and tried numerous different combination, but I've decided to see other's opinion on the matter.
In my pathfinder group, we use a system called gestalt. For those of you who don't know, it's a dual class system where you take the best of 2 classes each level. For exemple, you can be a Fighter/Wizard, gaining the BAB, Fort saves and hit dice of the Fighter and the will save of the wizard. You also take the weapon and armor profficiency of the Fighter and all the skills of both classes. You then take everything else each class offers (bonus feat, spells, etc...)
Now that this is explained, there we go with the question. I want to make the best possible front liner, min-maxing everything possible. The new character will be level 8 (hoping to go all the way to 20), using 20 points buy and having 33 000 gp. We are usually using the "background generator" but choosing what we like, so that can be used for some extra little bonuses here and there (maximum 1 of each section except for classes since we have technically 2). As long as the information is on d20pfsrd or paizo, the DM usually allows it (except the races which needs to be a bit more traditionnal).
The rest of the party is as follow :
1 melee which focus mostly on sunder
1 melee sneaky casting relying on sneak attack
1 archer that is also our healer (not very efficient might I add)
1 bard that mostly focus on buffing us
You may or may not take that into account when pitching ideas :)
TLDR :
-min max as much as possible
-Gestalt character
-20 point buy stats
-level 8
-33 000 gp
-background generator bonuses
-front liner
-needs to be from d20pfsrd or paizo (no homebrew/RAW)
