Working on my dream character, a gestalt that wakes up every day and fills nearly any role. Ideally, playable at all levels. Looking mostly for help picking the L12-18 feats, and also arranging combinations of Vestiges, Melds, and Chameleon focii into playable roles at the various levels.
Starting stats: 10/10/14/16/10/16
Level 1: Binder/Incarnate | Feats: City Slicker (Needed for disguise to get into Chameleon at level 6), Able Learner (Mandatory for Chameleon), Ignore Special Requirements, Improved Binding (last two feats gained via currently unspecified flaws)
Level 2: Binder/Incarnate
Level 3: Binder/Incarnate | Feat: Weapon Focus (Whatever)
Level 4: Binder/Incarnate | +1 STR, Binder Bonus Feat: Expel Vestige
Level 5: Binder/Incarnate
Level 6: Binder/Chameleon | Feat: Bonus Essentia
Level 7: Binder/Chameleon
Level 8: Knight of the Sacred Seal/Chameleon | +1 STR, First level I can enter KotSS due to BAB
Level 9: KotSS/Chameleon | Feat: Skilled Pact Making
Level 10-12: KotSS/Chameleon | Unchosen feat at 12, +1 STR at 12
Level 13-15: Binder/Chameleon | Unchosen feat at 15
Level 16-20: Binder/Incarnate | +1 CON at 16 and 20 (to be able to use all soulmeld slots gained via class levels), Unchosen feats at 16 and 18
The character ends up binding 4 vestiges as a 20th-level Binder, with 3 augmentations, BAB+17, 17/10/17 Saves (higher with pact augmentations and Chameleon focus), 12 Essentia, 6 Soulmelds (3 of which can be bound) usable as a 10th-level meldshaper, +6 to a stat of my choice each day, 20th-level arcane and divine casting of up to 6th-level spells, Immunity to energy drain and negative levels, Immunity to fear effects, Slippery mind, and whatever random abilities the pacts and soulmelds give. 15 levels of d8 HD, 5 levels of d10.
Example role: The Face
Take the Naberius vestige, his skills will let you fake knowledges, take 10 on Diplomacy and Bluff checks, disguise yourself as a standard action, and direct verbal commands at people.
The Silvertongue Mask soulmeld lets you invest essentia to get bonuses on Bluff, Diplomacy, and (if bound) Sense Motive.
At higher levels, put your Chameleon ability boon into Charisma, and take a casting class to apply self-buffs to help your social skills.
This is the spreadsheet I've been using to make sure the numbers work out. (http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=ppEKlm2gqNriat6mIt--zOw)
