Corrin Fire Emblem Gestalt

[Castle Blades]

Hey guys, I was making a character for my friends campaign that he is letting gestalt in, so I rolled my stats and got to thinking, after looking around I found the urban bloodrager and it hit me. I make a Dex based bloodrager/Magus that prestige's as a Dragon Disciple. Any build help, probably need an Archetype for Magus, I will be using the bloodrager spells for the spell combat.

[Castle Blades]

After the 4th and 7th level advancements and the human bonus,
Str 11
Dex 19
Con 16
Int 13
Wis 11
Cha 16

Oh, that's brilliant...

You can spell combat with bloodrager spells, provided they're also on the magus list. This will be the only way to Spell Combat while in normal rage. If going dex-based, use the Urban Bloodrager archetype to boost Dex over Str. However, the Dragon Disciple boosts STR, so dex-based may not be the best option. Consider Urban Bloodrager anyway, as it will allow you to use magus spells.

What type of Draconic Bloodline are you using? Electricity-based ones are better for raw damage with shocking grasp, Cold-based ones can help with debuffing (chill touch and frostbite). All of these are on both lists.

character reference plot spoilers:

I'd recommend Void as your dragon type. It's cold-based, and gives a cool extra debuff on a hit. It fits the character as well, as Corrin's draconic ancestor (anakos) could be represented as Void dragon.

You may need to boost Int to keep using magus spells. An alternative is the bloodrager-based Eldritch Scion archetype, which changes magus casting to CHA-based. Doing so would likely have a several redundant features with bloodrager gestalt, so consider switching to another secondary class if using this archetype.

What would you recommend in place of bloodrager should I go down the Eldritch Scion path?

[The Sideromancer]

Probably Paladin. Good Cha synergy, helps saves, still fulL BAB.

Edit: Slayer's a good pick for skills, with still full BAB and good Ref (combined with magus, 3 good save)

[Castle Blades]

Would urban barbarian be a solid choice?

[The Sideromancer]

Probably.

[Castle Blades]

Are there any good Slayer archetypes for this build?

[The Sideromancer]

I'd probably go with the vanguard, But that's probably more of a flavour thing than anything else.

[Castle Blades]

Are there any classes they offer both full reflex and will saves?

[The Sideromancer]

You already have good Will progression from magus, but for reference:

• Vigilante
  
• Investigator
  
• core monk
  
• bard
  
• mesmerist

have both Reflex and Will good (core monk has all 3)

[Castle Blades]

I am going Magus/Paladin
