[OOC] Bristleback Inn

[Quarterpound]

Hey folks! This is where the party makeup will be discussed, attempted, and finalized. Go ahead and roll in here, talk about what you want to play and what the party needs, and whatever else.

You only need a single line of description for your character. No backstory necessary. Anything you want to do above the single line of description and no backstory is fine by me.

[Insacrum]

I figured I would try and keep track of what people are thinking of playing, and also keep track of what roles are covered:

Player	PC	Tank	Heal	Ranged	Arcane	Divine	Trap
Insacrum	Pali/Summ	X	.		X	.
pianoman90	Oracle/Fighter	X	x			X
austarrowspliter	Sorc/Oracle (Seeker)		x		X	X	x
Ulfskar	Wiz/Cleric		X		X	X
Xian	psy War/Vitl	x	X	x	x
Baahk36	Fighter/Alch (TB)	x		x	x		x
thewattinator	Druid/Rogue	.	x	x		X	X

Str: 12 (+1)
Dex: 15 (+2)
Con: 12 (+1)
Int: 15 (+2)
Wis: 11 (+0)
Chr: 9 (-1)

Wow, a total of +5, very underwhelming.

BTW, I'm planning on a Halfling Rogue Psion. I'll have a bit of trapfinding handled. Of course with gestalt, I hope I'm not the only one.

Pado Appleodd "What do you mean this is your money?" Pado looked down to the coin purse he was now holding, and back at the man talking to him. Sensing the situation turning against him, he decided it was time to turn against the situation. After a quick about-face, it was then a foot race.

Alright-I rolled myself some ok stats in a message:

18, 14, 13, 12, 12, 11

For reference I am angling towards battle cleric mould. I will hopefully have the healing kinda covered.

Name: Father Mightily Oats
Race: Human (Dual-talented)
Class: Oracle (Dual-cursed, Battle Mystery)/ Fighter
Age: 78
Alignment: Neutral Good
Curses: Clouded Vision (full benefits), Lame (stuck at first level)

Father Mightily Oats Old, withered, lame and half-blind, Father Oats shuffled towards the entrance almost as if he didn't want to be there at all. His raspy voice cautioned anyone who bothered to listen, the wisdom of age came naturally to him. Suddenly he whipped aside the cloak to reveal... armor? And a greatsword? Clearly there was more to this old duffer than met the eye..

Damn Aust!

If your stat rolls net you a +7 modifier or lower, re-roll.

[Insacrum]

+8, that'll work.

[austarrowsplitter]

I'm thinking probably a Sorcerer/Alchemist. Put those three sixteens to work, and so we'll have a backup trapfinder if our friendly local Rogue goes splat.
Sound good to the rest of you guys?

[pianoman90]

Phwoar.. +11 over there, nice! Sorc/Alch seems good to me (just putting it out there-no experience in what works for gestalt, I may come up with some weird ideas from time to time).

[Insacrum]

Well right now our healer is also our only front line combatant. Is anyone planning on a warrior or paladin... I hear paladin/synthesis is good.

[austarrowsplitter]

They do mesh well. Alchemist gives some nice early AoE damage, as well as the ability to do a little backup healing. Basically, I'm trying to have as many different sources of 'za magicks!' as I possibly can. XD I also thought about going Sorcerer/Cleric or Sorcerer/Oracle. But Sorcerer/Oracle doesn't quite make as much use out of having three high scores as Sorcerer/Alchemist does.

EDIT: I was just re-reading the Alchemist class, and just noticed that Alchemist extracts only affect them. Which means I can't do any kind of backup healing...

Oracle of Life it is, then. Like a Mystic Theurge without all the lost spellcasting levels XD

[Insacrum]

I just realized how good Pali/Synth is. You get two tanks and a side of Divine and Arcane casting... I might build it myself.

[Quarterpound]

If you take Infusion, then your extracts affect others.

Think of synthesist summoner/paladin
