Ok, our DM has decided to run a gestalt game, and two of us players have run into problems. The game will be running from level 5 to about level 10. Stats are 28 PB or roll, and we have 5x average class starting wealth in addition to 2-3 magic items (Which must be approved by the DM). Any books allowed (unless the DM says otherwise after being asked if we can use it). We are allowed to use flaws, so long as they have an actual impact on the character. Our DM has banned monks as a class because he thinks that monk is overpowered as a gestalt side. I don't understand why on that last one, but it doesn't affect me. Directly, anyway (see first character).
Now, on the the characters that need help:
First, we have the Half-Ogre Fighter//Barbarian. The problem is that he wants to get into the Drunken Master prc at 6th level... Getting him Dodge, Great Fortitude, and Improved unarmed strike isn't a problem, it's the flurry of blows and evasion requirements that have caused problems. In addition to this, we can't figure out how LA is supposed to work in gestalt. This is in addition to the writing gaps in the class itself (you still take the -4 for improvised weapons), so any help you can provide would be appreciated.
*EDIT* The DM has just said that the LA applies to only one side, so that's good news.
Second, we have my character, the Warforged Binder//Warlock. Here, it's just seeing if I'm screwing myself over with my feat selection, for help selecting my invocations, and tips on which vestige to choose for Knight of the Sacred Seal. I'm planning on taking Mithral body, Improved Binding (Paid for with Flaw:Poor Reflexes), Weapon Focus: Eldritch blast(KoSS required feat, 3rd level feat), and either Expel Vestige or Ignore Special Requirements (My 4th level Binder bonus feat). I might take Apprentice(Spellcaster) from DMG II if my DM will let me and if I keep getting the Skill points each level. In exchange I plan on taking the Flaw:Vulnerable. I also have no idea how to distribute my stats (I rolled 18,14,13,11,10,10), so any help would be appriciated.
Thank you for your help.
