02-06-07, 12:59 AM Well my friends, I come once more seeking help, this time for myself. I am here looking for advice for a gestalt character. I originally planned on a Warblade/Artificer TWF, but thought my talents would be more useful elsewhere. So I am open to suggestions.

Details:
Starting at Lvl 3
Stats: 18 16 16 16 12 12
Using fractional BAB/saves
Hoping to combine artificer and a full caster class that would synergize well in gestalt.
Other party members include a shadow pouncing monk/swordsage, and a undecided player that always plays a roguish build.
Flaws are being used.
Must be playable through level 20
Houserules: LA separated by side, Imp. Toughness combined with toughness, no multiclass EXP penalties.
Almost all 3.5 WOTC materials available for use

Thought about maybe using duskblade on the other side, then maybe PrC into something, but the duskblade spell list looks too limited.

Note: I am also DMing this one, as we have three people including myself.

I can't recall, I think it's Egoist. The psionic class that is a generalist version of the psion, and can learn powers from others.

the synergy is impossible to ignore.

Artificier half can do all your Arcane magical junk, and the Psion can make/use psionic items.
Int based casting as well.

Of course, start PrCing the psion half (artificier 20 needs no PrCs).

02-06-07, 03:33 AM Well, I think a crusader/artificer would be one mean tank. With the bonus magic enhancements you can really beef up your melee ability. In combat heals with strikes, out of combat heals with a wand of lesser vigor. With craft construct you can make an army and keep it maintained with healing infusions. This combo literally can do, with the proper preparation, anything in the game.

More ideas later. I'll let a caster combination stew in my head for a while. Biggest problem with that is you're not getting that much from artificer if you're going caster - basically a craft reserve, maybe no hitdie increase (depending on the class you choose) and item creation feats for free.
