So after getting some amazing rolls I wanted to make a character that is very gear-independent so since this is a Gestalt game I wanted to roll up a Unchained Monk with the Dreamscarred Press's Psion (Or 3.5 Erudite)

Now where I got my rolls is kind of a funny story. My DM uses a flat screen TV connected to his PC to show us pictures of creatures or to play battle music and so forth for scene. But when we were hanging out and planning our next campaign so he brought out the laptop and the tv and he was showing up the Errata that came out and so forth so we knew what was what.

Now we let him do our dice rolls for us using BrockJones for dice rolls. Well I headed to the bathroom while he did the dice rolls for the others. We all did well but mine were amazing. Well I am in the bathroom and finishing washing my hands and hear "Dude! you have to f***ing see this!" and I come out and ask "What?" and then see the screen [Here is the link]

The reason for a Psion Monk is due to the way they seem to flow together as the being who is perfecting their mind and body.

I was gonna take Elan and use a Venerable Elan and +2 floating free should go to the Dex.

Any advice on which my first feat should be because I don't know if I should focus on the psion class first or the Monk class.

I want to make a character who is as close as possible to the Dread Pirate Roberts from the Princess Bride.

I know one side would likely be Swashbuckler, due to his speed and skill tricks with a blade I could say he is an expert duelist.

But the other side alludes me, I know this would do best with a Cha based class but I am not sure what.

So using the idea provided here about monster orphanages and sanctuaries I wanted to make a Troll Character.

Now I am debating on which Troll to use. The default Troll or the Cave Troll

Now the class I want to use is Monk, to show that he was raised differently and brought up in a well structured environment. Though LG will likely not work. So using the Adopted and Enlightened Warrior traits I can make him NG

I was thinking of using Feral Combat Training to make my Claws work into my flurry, as I think it allows me to use my rend if I land two of my claw attacks during a flurry.

With CR buy off I gain a class level at level 3 and again at level 6 which would drop my CR down to either CR 2 or 3 depending on which troll to pick, but at level 9 I could drop it down to CR 2. Dropping Wealth By Level by an additional 2 levels should reduce that to a CR 1 and down by 2 should get me to Class Levels so long as I remain 4 levels of wealth behind the party I think.

Which Troll best suits a Monk Cr 2/Monk 18 is still pretty good overall. With Regen 3 or 5 I don't have to worry too much. But I would like advice to somehow gain a higher resistance to Fire, Acid is less likely to come up.

This character is a Half-Orc with the Half-Troll Template applied.
This is a gestalt character.

The Scarred Witch Doctor Witch on one side, and the other side will be a Hunter.

The Animal Familiar will be a Viper, to aid in his bluff that he is just a Half-Orc.

As for the Animal Companion for the Hunter side, I am at a loss, I know the Dinos seem to be the best suited for combat and have all the lovely buffs but I dont know if it fits the theme of the character.

The character's goal is to create a nation of the green, the Orcs, Goblins, Half-Orcs, and so forth into a nation state that can rival the human lands and demand a fair and equal footing in the world. Basically to form a nation to get the adventurers in the world to stop XP grinding their brethren.

But to do that he needs power and experience to do that. So he will be taking part in missions and such that adventurers do to learn what he needs, harden his mind and body, and potentially find recruits for when his climb to power comes.

I am considering A Big Cat, Always wanted my own Battle Cat.

While I know Slumber is the King and High Lord of all Hexes what Hexes would best fit with this style of character, who is clever and wants to imposes hexes in the midst of battle or at least at the onset of.

Alright so in a game we play now and then we have a situation ongoing and I wanted to get some input on what I should do.

The reason we only get to play this now and then is the DM lives three hours away and we get to play when he comes into town when off break from school so its been a few weeks since last play but he should be coming back in this week.

Now for the Cliche question.
What do you do with a half-troll baby? What do you do with a Half-Troll/Half-Orc baby?

The characters are currently in a Half-Orc village and we have been brought in to help push back a small tribe of Trolls that have been making attacks on the village. One of our NPCs had a wife attacked and of course she is pregnant when we got there. It was not till last session she admitted to being raped by the chieftain of the Troll Tribe. So now the baby may or may not be a Half-Troll creature.

So what do we do? I mean it is in an established village, the mother will likely survive and if not has family in town. The village could raise the baby but it is a half-troll and might need to be dealt with.

One member of our party is a Half-Orc himself and his background is that he is a local from this village hence why our group was called in.

there is a chance the baby is not a Half-Troll so I OoC don't want to act to soon and risk a pissed off village on our ass for killing one of their kids, including one of our own being ticked.

A secondary question I always had was. I had heard of the Orc Baby morale situation but what I always wondered it.. what if it was a half-orc baby. I mean any of us can play a half-orc and yet I see Goblins and Orcs as example but never Half-Orcs as an example? Is it because they are a playable race and so are not always considered pure evil?

Well as you can see this question involves 3.5 and PF.
The archetype of the Iron Priest says it can channel energy to heal or harm Clockwork and Robot constructs, but would it effect living constructs? Or are Living Constructs covered over the living things effect?

Now for those of you who don't know who this character is Bullseye was also in that Ben Afleck Daredevil movie played my Colin Farrel and is known as a top grade assassin with his forte being that he can kill you with virtually anything around him, but especially throwing objects at you.

I was wondering if there was a way to make a character like that in PF/D&D and so I am asking for advice, this is pretty much just a theorycraft but I might be able to use it either as a villain later or give it to one of my players who would love a thrown weapon specialist.

3.5 feats are allowed and the feats Brutal Throw and Power Throw are obvious choices for a Str centric character. Gloves of Endless Javelins would also be a bit of fun as it would always leave him with a weapon on hand but I didn't want to focus to much on using a highly specialized one weapon build but more a generalist.

As far as stats presume optimal scores, full range of races that are available to players, perhaps even a doppelganger (Favorite of mine)

I am a fan of Doctor Who obviously, I am also wanting to play something similar in an upcoming game.

The game begins at level 5 and will likely run till 13-15 range.
We are using a 25 Point Buy
I wanted to use a human, but I might be talked into a human-like race.

I thought about the Resurrection Druid, using the Dragonlance feat of either Academy Priest or Dynamic Priest to switch his casting stat to either Int or Cha which seems more Doctor-ish.
