Age of Worms: Pathfinder Gestalt Advice


Age of Worms Adventure Path


1 person marked this as a favorite.

My players are currently running through Rise of the Runelords, and should be done within the next few months. I am planning after this adventure to run Age of Worms, which will be a "sequel" to RotRL (several NPCs the players let live will make appearances, decisions the players made will affect this world, and the players' previous characters may make cameos). I already have found several very helpful Pathfinder Conversions for the AoW monters and characters, and I already have several plot conversions to fit the world of Golarion. However, I need a little advice.

I only have 3 players. To counter this, I decided to make them gestalt. I have read a few threads on playing AoW with gestalt characters, but that was in 3.5, and I haven't found a thread on playing a Pathfinder gestalt game. I also know what my players shall be playing, it is as follows:

Human Magus/Unchained Scout Rogue
Full Orc Unchained Barbarian/Sorcerer/eventually Dragon Disciple
Duergar Unchained Scout/Sniper Rogue/Fighter

At this point, all I'm looking for is any helpful advice, tips, and opinions. Any help to make sure this game is tough but not impossible is all I need. Even a link to an existing post about gestalt Pathfinder characters in AoW would be nice. I appreciate any input.


Age of Worms? You want gestalt something that ends up immune to disease. Trust Me. Bonus points if you can work in healed by negative energy/immune to level drain.

Too bad they're all basically martial. Even the Dragon Disciple is going full melee and doesn't give a damn about the spells...stupid, but whatever.

Fortunately, no amount of disease immunity will make them immune to worms, so that's always good even if they went down that route.


You should also update the PrC from the AP support articles.

*hrm, its been a while for me, but i thought it Would make you immune.
Anti-Undead choices would still be a solid selection however.
