Currently working on a gestalt character for a pbp game. One half of the progression is a homebrew class I've posted about a few times, The mancer. The other half is likely to be a hodgepodge of other classes.
But what I'm specifically wondering about is the Deepstone Sentinel PrC. Entry requirements are definitely strict, +10 bab, 13 ranks in balance. But the fluff of the PrC definitely seems to be similar to the dwarven defender (first and last line of defense).
So I'm wondering if the deepstone is actually a decent PrC, or rather, is it a 'usable' PrC?
The fact that it's not mentioned regularly tells me that it's underpowered compared to bloodstorm blade and the ruby knight vindicator, though those two are both very, very good.
So am I wasting time trying to get into deepstone sentinel, would my time be better spent with another class? And since the other half my progression is going to be split between martial and nonmartial classes, which maneuvers would continue to be useful in later levels. (When I've got level 2 and 3 maneuvers, but am 10th level or so)
