I am playing a character in a gestalt game soon. And because it is a Gestalt game I decided I wanted to have a bit of fun with it and take a character with some CR on one side.
Because we are using PR rules we are using the creatures CR adjustment rather then any RHD or LA from past books. So I decided on Stonechild, whos name is Basalt the Rocksteady.
Stonechild has a lot of perks
Least of which is immunity to Acid and Poison
+4 to Natural Armor
+8 to Str and Con, +2 Int, with a -2 to Cha
Blind-Fight is a bonus feat
Magic Stone 3/day.
All Simple and Martial Weapons; Light and Medium Armor and Shields (Not Tower shields)
Now the CR is 3 for Stonechild and our game is going to be a Level 5 game.
So CR 3/Class 2//Class 5 is how it will work out.
I was considering taking a bit of the Fist of The Forest which would make use of the high Con.
I was thinking taking Fighter on the CR side to give him the two bonus feats to help him take that class.
i would suggest warpriest over fighter--near as many feats (and counts as full bab/fighter level for half of them), better saves, and great class abilities and spellcasting.
On the CR side?
I suppose I should have said what I wanted from the class, sorry long day double shift and very very sleepy.
This guy obviously is suppose to be a tank hulking character but also quite good with combat, I honestly considered a bow character. Since with PBM you take no negs for 1000 GP your composite bow adjusts to your score.
But the iconic idea of a shield and weapon fighter still appears to me, but you can't really make the best use of that massive str or con.
Btw for caster options, I do have access to Lost Tradition.
