The mind boggles at the possibilities. Now, the challenge itself. I'm looking for the best ECL 20 Gestalt build in terms of Jumping ability. This only includes non-natural abilities, so no maxing out the jump skill and using it like that. Maximum damage is also good, but Jumping ability should take priority. All 3.5 books and resources are avaliable for the challenge, but you must use the Dragonmark of Passage from the Eberron Campaign Setting. Combining settings is also allowed. Ready, and GO!!

#3 jaronk Oct 08, 2008 4:12:48	Yeah, Swordsage is the way to go... you can teleport up to 150 feet in any direction, then reload as a standard action. JaronK
#4 heax Oct 08, 2008 13:59:05	I was going to say Jaunter mixed with a little Scout and Dragonmarked Heir. Perhaps toss in a little psionics with Ardent.

Martial Manuvers: Swordsage ... 11th lvl Initiator...6th lvl manuvers Crusader ...... 11th lvl initiator ... 6th lvl manuvers Also he has Access to a few Shadow Hand manuvers and other Manuvers(Devoted Spirit,White Raven,etc...)... but Shadow Hand also have some Quick Teleport abilities, and great combat manuvers and Stances. i havent even looked into what would be best.... feel free to suggest some.

#6 gilfalas_elaandrin Oct 08, 2008 16:22:42	Don't forget the at will ability to Dimension Door plus Advanced Illuision of the 'Flee the Scene' Warlcok Invocation. Only needs Warlock 5 IIR.
#7 jaronk Oct 08, 2008 17:04:37	Tafflamar Shadowlord is an obvious choice, giving the ability to full attack after every teleport. Combine that with the Swordsage's ability to teleport up to three times in one full round and you can do some seriously leathal stuff (though you have to recharge for a round after). So how about this? Unarmed Varient Swordsage 15/Master of Nine 5//Rogue 1/Cobra Strike Monk 2/Rokugan Ninja 5/Horizon Walker 6/Tefflamar Shadowlord 6 That would let you teleport all over the place, plus you could dish out incredible damage from shadows.
