Things are getting a little out of hand in a gestalt game I've joined and half the group is prepping backups in case things go downhill. Relevant houserules:
*No full caster/martial adept progression on both sides on the same level. (i.e. anything with a spell list, maneuver list, invocation list, power list and similar)
*factotum, binder and incarnum classes are not casters.
*no martial adept and caster on the same level.
*Caster//Paladin or Ranger is fine if using nonspellcasting variants.
*No homebrew
*No Pathfinder
*3rd party/3.0 material (except BoEF) approved on case to case basis
*Dragon mag is allowed
*May not take 2 PrCs on the same level.
I'm might try getting the DM to reword the first one so that we may have a pseudo-caster like spellthief on the other side with a full caster as long as we don't take enough to get spellcasting on those classes.
I've got this planned so far:
Draconic White Dragonspawn Human, Lawful Good
Sorc 5/Swiftblade 10/Abjurant Champion 5//Sorc +4/Fighter 2/Paladin 4/Marshal 1/Battledancer 1/Scout 1/Ninja 1/Rogue 1/???? 5
Feats:
1: (Fighter 1) Expeditious Dodge, Extend Spell, (Human) Improved Initiative?
2:(Fighter 2) Mobility
3: something retrained to Arcane Strike at level 4
6: Arcane Preparation?
9: Divine Might?
12: ?
15: Combat Casting
18: ?
Divine Might, Combat Casting, Arcane Preparation for Greater Luminous Armor, ???? for the other feats at not sure yet levels. Maybe a devotion feat or two?
? = still unsure.
Taking sorc levels on the other side to offset the casting loss and using motivate Dex from Marshal to buff the party's initative. I've considered switching to Illumian with Naenhoon and using the twice betrayer's trick to persist wraithstrike and haste but that might force me to dodge a flying book or two. Ditto for cheesewrought kobold.
Also considered a more incarnum oriented version of this but i've yet to read Magic of Incarnum properly.
Edit: A bit of updating.
