10-27-04, 11:42 AM Our campaign is using Gestalt (sp? sorry), basically I pick another class to go up in a level in addition to the first. I started 1 level of Aasimir & 1 level of Cleric. To give a bit of background, I wanted to do the mystic theurge, but our 3 characters seemed to die often (-6 hp and so on, not -10)so in Unearthed Arcana there is the Gestalt rule. So we all changed over to it, I think about 3rd level. I instantly became 3rd level cleric, 2nd level wizard, & had 1 level in Aasimir (per the template). Now I am 6/5 (c/w) with 1 level of Aasimir.

Ignoring what the other party members are (a feline fighter/rogue, and a Half-Giant Psion warrior/Fighter) what goals should my character try to achieve? My alignment is Chaotic Good, I am very loyal to my Deity (Lorana Sweet-tune, the DM's Retired Bard)and I wish to dispatch of an Evil Empire (yea they are huge). Ok, I do those things, in what progression should I attempt to achieve these things? I feel 'ultra' powerful, having a full range of divine to arcane spells, healing and undead turning. What feats do you recommend, spells, skills, should I change classes (remember I am not human, so XP penalty would apply)and what prestige classes would give me a better advantage?

10-27-04, 04:51 PM What you might first want to do is ask your DM if you can use the lesser planetouched variant found in Player's Guide to Faerūn. You'd become a humanoid with the planetouched subtype and would be susceptible to spells, etc, that hit humanoids AND outsiders, but you'd lose the LA and even out your wizard spell levels. Then take the Geomancer prestige class from Masters of the Wild. Even if you don't ditch the LA and even out your levels, take Geomancer. It's quite handy really, assuming you don't mind the drift (which I'm sure you could take to your DM about changing for other options). If you do try to get the drift changed, perhaps come up with something more specific to what you are, and gain celestial-type qualities or something. It depends on how willing your DM is to work with you.

10-29-04, 10:25 AM I talked Geomancer to him, first thing is that is way too powerful! He is thinking of if you do prestige class no gestalt (sp?)! What?!? We alredy have people in prestige classes, just not mine, makes me wonder. Then he said well let me think about it. I probably will try to do it, I mean why not, and especially try to do it the 'celestial' way.

Get this, also at the end of our role-playing session last night, I guess he forgot, but he mentioned how cool it would be to prestige class/gestalt. I am a little confused. Anyways, THANKS so much for replying, that is an awesome prestige class.
