A fighter, a wizard, and a rogue walk into a build...

[Choon]

So, I have a theorycraft question. Kinda. More like a challenge.

If a bunch of different classes, namely a two handed fighter, a wizard, and a rogue, were reincarnated into a single being, what build could represent all their various skills and abilities? How would you show that diversity without multiclassing yourself into oblivion?

Think of it like the three were put in a big 'ol blender. What would come out?

If you want to theorize that an Anti-pally, a healer cleric, and an alchemist had the same happen, how would you build that? Or just pick any three. A barbarian/Druid/witch? How about a sorcerer/paladin/gunslinger?

They're all in there? 3 separate, distinct souls crammed into one body?

Sounds like a gestalt character to me. Never seen a 3-class gestalt. Could be pretty cool though.

More like three souls in a blender (and I'll edit to say that up top). So they have the memories and such, but they are one person.

Experience is the sum of what a person's been through. If they have all 3 character's memories I'd say they pretty much have all those character's knowledge.

So yeah, sounds like a Gestalt to me. If you're trying to do this without Gestalt, I'd say that it can't really be done in any feasible way. You'd end up multi-classing or spreading your feats to thin in one particular area to make an effective character.

A half-orc bard (choose your own archetype)?

An Eldritch knight with some investment in stealth?

A stealthy Magus?

Bard. A bard has arcane magic, skills, and fights more like a fighter than a rogue. I'd probably go for Chelish Diva -- arcane duelist loses versatile performance -- for the armor proficiencies and maybe pick up arcane eldritch heritage.

Suicide. Antipaladin and positive energy cleric cannot coexist.

Druid. Druid is already thematically somewhere between barbarian and witch. Just make a front line face ripper build.

Bard again for the same reason as the first group. Your soul does not contain your gun so gunslinger comes out in the wash. Take eldritch heritage, probably on another Chelish Diva or arcane duelist. If multiclassing were allowed, though a holy gun paladin going into eldritch knight with sorcerer would work. Or into dragon disciple if that's the bloodline in question.

My gaming group is actually doing a 3 class gestalt system for a WotW campaign. Its been pretty awesome so far.

For the fighter-mage-thief, I'd just do a Ranger (trapper) 1/Wizard (probably transmuter) 5/Eldritch Knight ++.
You can fight and eventually grab fighters only feats thanks to EK, cast spells at character level - 2 (go buffs), find traps and have a decent number of points for thief skills thanks to high Intelligence. The only signature ability you're missing is sneak attack, which you don't really need if you are enlarged, bull-strengthed and power attacking with a two-hander.
