All cheese must be sampled by the chef before being mixed into the lasagna that is D&D.
That said, some cheddar (or provolone, if you're trying to get on my good side) is fine. Perhaps even encouraged since you'll be capping at level 6 and you'll sometimes need an ace in the hole to get you out of trouble. But any cheese you bring forth will give me free reign to return the favor.

You can get pretty wild if you want to. Artificers tend to break the format in half by the nature of existing, by getting access to higher level magic than anyone else and being able to channel all the excess experience into their crafting shenanigans. Generally I'd say that E6 is better balanced than regular D&D 3.5, but that it's definitely breakable. Advancement through feats leads into things such as Essentia being rather useful. (As I am sure Sepiriel is thrilled to hear.) And ways to access prestigeclasses early tend to be valuable, as they usually cost feats to get and feats are one of the few things there's no shortage of. Book of Weeaboo Fighting Magic is very strong.
E6 Gestalt is also playable. E8 is doable, but it rewards clerics/soft-casters a bit too much, by removing the advantage full BaB classes have in E6.
Also, if we try to make this place active again we should probably do a grand purge. Perhaps Talore or Nai would like to play some Dustforce on the subforum.

I dun do cheesificers because artificer is a pain in my arse of galactic proportions.

Cheese at the minimum, Amadi, or else we'll be facing atropal swarms at this level 6. And that just ain't cool.
To be honest, I'd likely make the character I am playing in this IRL campaign over some... Daring Outlaw with all those lovely feats, even at level 6, could be good. Though the lack of Staggering Blow may be indeed staggering.

No nuking, but I did do some reorganization so that there is less bloat.
I also might be interested in joining this campaign if my backlog gets cleared.

its just sad that even my best attempts at doing a strong character end up being one shot'd in so little time that its sad... I suppose i just can't do cheese outside of Feta... tasty things that crumble with the slightest touch.

No, Amadi, you may not bind an air elemental to your feet for a free fly speed.
Not unless you want to deal with the consequences, anyway.
What do *I* need a fly speed for? I have a cozy chair, with arm rests and everything. I am also in the middle of drinking my morning coffee!

None of the spells mentioned are particularly cheesy on their own and the fact that Summon Monster creatures are stronger than a fighter of the same ECL as the wizard casting the spell is completely intended by the game designers.

I'd be cool with gestalt, as long as things don't get *too* crazy. I tend to make gish-type characters in general, so gestalt really helps there. Nothing set in stone until I understand the setting and the general optimization level, though.

If there is a focus on air ship fights, I might take Legendary Captain or Dread Pirate just for giggles.
With a focus on doing clever things with magic rather than blowing crap up.
Though to be fair there could still be quite a bit of that. Those Daggerspell Mage class abilities are just too useful to not use.
