every character can do some retarded dip into 17 different classes with stacked retard passives and other dumb shit to be viableYou can climb that treadmill if you like (even then P:K makes that treadmill itself more enjoyable than other games which resort to it), but you can also obviate it altogether via smart play (which is likely the underlying design). Definitely need to accentuate more of the latter than the former next time, but the game really handled the former in spectacular fashion on unfair lvl 8ish on.

most memorable gaming experience ever.
If I ever do another playthrough Linzi just Dispels the Seamantle and voila no more treadmill but that was massive fun.
How did you have Tristian built in that fight? I've never even attempted to use a melee weapon with him.
D&D 3e was a fucking mistake
anything beyond dual-classing was a retarded design decision
No, he's a straight up Mystic Theurge, just like he was likely designed to be given his 16CHR and myriad ways for Clerics/Scions to overcome low MT BAB. Archon's Aura is the most powerful debuff in the game and you need to be in melee to make it most effective. The puzzle of making that happen with Tristian is the opposite of retarded or dumb - it's what makes games fun. The fact that solving that puzzle parallels Tristian's character arc in the game (and the resonance of that arc to the RL process of transformation of cucks into functional/valuable men) is what makes the game sublime.
As for splashes, most (especially Vivi) are actively bad, especially for offensive casters which need caster level above all else.
