[D&D-3.5e] Wonderland: A Ravenloft Tale

[Ermine]

So ummm, was thinking about equipment. I can't use most magic items, so I'm starting to consider carrying around a coffin full of potions of CLW. I don't know what to do with 19000 gold :/ I want an amulet of mighty fists, but that'd take up one of my slots for soulmelds. So that's out.

Any ideas? (A coffin full of wands of CLW is out because that'd just be silly)

You could always take Vow of Poverty, if you have enough feats to do so that is.

[Ermine]

...I didn't know that was an option. Am I able to take it without taking Exalted feats? (1st, 2nd, every even level). Because there aren't many I can even take other than additional vows. (I mean, I may take those with it, but yeah...)

[triedtherest]

You don't get the Exalted Feats retroactively if you take Vow of Poverty at later levels.

[Seekr34]

I have 3 magical items and some left over.

I do have a question thought. I am using Stonechild/Fighter. As I was doing searching, I read a couple of sites that you can't multiclass with stonechild but says nothing about using it with Ges. So my character is 6th level using Ges with Stonechild/Fighter, but since we are 7th level, my character is 6th level stonechild since that is the highest level they go and 7th level fighter

Right, but I'll still have to take some. A minimum of 1 at the current level (taking Vow of Poverty at 6th qualifies me for the 6th level one). Which I guess isn't too bad...

Edit: I took it at 1st and just hope this game doesn't go to 20th.

Edit 2: I can go to 15th before I run out of Exalted feats I can take. Which should be good?

Races of Stone, p. 86.
"A monster character using a monster class cannot multiclass until she completes the full progression in her monster class."

You can take levels in another class once you pass 6th level.

[Seekr34]

Ok, so other words, instead of 7th level fighter, he's 1st level fighter

[Ermine]

Only if you take Fighter on the same side as stonechild in your gestalt.

(Stonechild 6/??? 1//Fighter 7 or Stonechild 6/Fighter 1//??? 7)

[Seekr34]

I wanted to take both stonechild and fighter

[Ermine]

You can? I literally listed 2 ways it's possible?

Edit: This came across as rude, I think. I meant legitimate confusion. Sorry!

Name: "Doc"

Race: Warforged

Classes: Psion 7 | Factotum 1/Dragonfire Adept 6

Personality: Thoughtful. Curious. Enthusiastic.
Like any modern-age thinker who lived in a flying city before getting taken by the mists, he is wary of religion, even as more of his fellow citizens turned to them due to the uncertainties of the times. He believes in science, in reproductible experiments, in what he sees.

Looks: The dark gleam of adamantine is present on every surface, grey with hints of purple reflections.
He looks precisely like what he is: a live-mechanical dragon fitted into anthropomorphic form by the powers of science and magitech. The inside of his mouth in particular has a small red glow, a trace of the always-on reactor that powers his breath weapon.

History and Significant Events & RP Sample:
"When I was 'born', I looked like this:

 

Which is fine, I mean. Elegant, refined, slightly exotic. I was supposed to be a model companion, capable of spirited discussions as well as tender care... CompForged, they called our model, brand new.

But I was flawed, I guess. I wasn't interested much in all that. I liked tinkering, instead, and neglected my owner-customer. Oh, and my nascent mental powers might have seemed a bit scary too.
So, they released me, hush hush, and I got to do what I wanted.

I started on a path of self-modification; with scraps at first, then better and better materials. I worked hard, taking up whatever was on offer, and poured all my earnings into it: after all, I did not eat, nor sleep, so my cost of living was nil, zilch.

This is when I talk about Doc Solder: a mad dwarf after my own heart, with a third arm - arcanomechanic of course. He was a gifted magitechnologist, if you ask me, but too unorthodox for the Academy.
I tried to get in there, by the way, but they rejected me; probably they learned of our association.
Anyway, he helped me dream up much bigger plans for my own body, involving fair amounts of experimental approaches to power, both generating it and expelling it. I would become a Dragonforged because, hey, dragons. Who hasn't dreamt of being one? I handled the sculpting and he most of the arcanoscience: he aimed to craft a reactor capable of spreading energies much like the mystical yet no less incinerating breath of our favourite living, flying, scaly war machines.

It went very well, that first test. Too well: too much energy, not enough room for it. The fire just filled our lab from wall to wall; I had a fair amount of resistance, he didn't, and he burned to ash.
I took his moniker, as an homage. As good a name as any, "Doc", since I like to patch things up.
I still have a pinch of his ash, in this little container on my chest. I think about him every day.

Oh, my big project? Yes, I finished it. Can't you tell? I'm a beauty, right?
Mind you, this is all very heavy... I might get rid of the spikes some day, but they just look so good."

@Haelmaxan: I kinda merged the Background and RP sample by making the PC narrate his story; I like ot do that sometimes. If that's not OK, let know and I can provide more.

@Seekr34: as Ermine said, you can go full Fighter 7 on one "side", and Stonechild 6 + 1 class level to be determined on the other "side".

Ahh, ok, I understand now. I was going with full fighter 7 and stonechild 6 (glad I don't have re-edit my sheet) but the 1 class level...so it would be 6th Stonechild/7th Fighter/1st class to be named?

I just want to make sure I got this straight.

[Ermine]

I multiclassed on one side of the gestalt with my character, too. It'd be Stonechild 6/Other Class 1//Fighter 7. // to seperate each side of the gestalt so it's clear it's not just a 14th level character.
