Optimized Gestalt caster (semi-challenge)

[Wookie-ranger]

I would like to see an optimized gestalt PC that can cast as many kinds spells as possible.

Goal:
A single Character that can cast spells from as many lists as possible (ie: Wiz/sorc, cleric, druid, ...)and as high a level as possible (ie: 9th level spells). Psionic powers optional, but if you can fit them in, why not.

Rules are simple:
1. any race, class, and template
2. 3.5, (with optional 3.0 and pathfinder if there is no other way)
3. max level 20
4. ALL books and Dmg.
5. Cheese level: one step below Pun-pun. semi-playable, but very op



Ideas and thoughts:
Ur-priest, sounds good at first but cannot cast other divine spells.
rainbow servant, gives all cleric spells (including miracle)
Beholder mage, a PC can get into this PrC with a lot of determination.

If you are Gestalt, Avoid MAD and go Archivist (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20051007a&page=3), the Wizardly Cleric.

Transmutation domain wizard 1 (with animal companion acf) / Archivist 2 / Mysthic Theurge 7 / Arcane Hierophant 10 // (spell to power) Erudite 20

any flaw you like

feats: earth sense, heighten spell, earth power (I like those more than sanctify spell to get second level spells early), theurgic bond (animal companion), theurgic bond (familiar), enspell (familiar), spell-linked familiar, whatever

You get spells from any divine source (archivist), any spell from a wizard, any power from the erudite list (including any spell that you cannot cast as a wizard). As a bonus you get an awesomely strong and intelligent pet. Don't forget to use Planar familiar (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/sb/sb20011020a) on it for more power. You will notice a lack of quicken metamagic, just use battletide from the players guide to faerun.

Warmage 6 / Rainbow servant 10 / Incantatrix 4 // Factotum 20

You can spontaneously cast any spell on the warmage list or the cleric list or the druid list. You can also apply metamagics with incantatrix to any spell you like.

Factotum and font of inspiration for loads of extra standard action to be able to cast more of those spells.

A Spell-to-Power Erudite//Archivist can know every divine spell on all spell lists and have a psionic version of every arcane spell on all spell lists.

If you want spells specifically, not converted powers, head on over to the Forgotten Realms. Let's see what we can do here...

Archivist 5/Prestige Paladin 4/Archivist +11//Bard 1/Wu Jen 8/Geomancer (advance Wu Jen) +1/Sublime Chord 1/Geomancer (Advance SC) +9

This build takes the Sword of the Arcane Order feat to have wizard casting on its archivist levels. Bard is obviously for that spell list. Prestiging into Sublime Chord is qualified for by having 3rd-level "wizard" slots, letting you pick the choicest bard spells and grab sorcerer-only spells. Insert Wu Jen in there, because, well, why not. Then cram all 10 levels of Geomancer around your spell lists so you're less MAD.

- 9ths from every divine spell list
- 9ths from the the Wiz/Sorc lists, with Wizard-only and Sorcerer-only options
- 6ths from the Bard list
- 5ths from the Wu Jen list
- Ability to pretend a spell is from another list
- Gishable due to +16 BAB and Geomancer goodies

The Omnicaster (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3945177&postcount=38): Psion 3 / Cerebremancer 3 / Psychic Theurge 7 / Eldritch Disciple 2 / Eldritch Theurge 3 / Noctumancer 2 // Wizard 1 / Totemist 1 / Warlock 1 / Truenamer 1 / Shadowcaster 3 / Ur-Priest 1 / Anima Mage 8 / Soul Manifester 4.

9th-level arcane spells, 9th-level divine spells, 9th-level psionic powers, lesser invocations, four soulmelds, a chakra bind, 4th-level vestiges, 5th-level shadowcasting, Perfected Map truenaming, and a maximized UMD skill.

Not to be confused with The Urge To Merge Theurges (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3941852&postcount=18) from the same contest, which is "only" L17 Wizard casting, L17 Shadowcaster mystery use, L1 Druid casting, L14 Bard casting, and L13 Archivist casting.

Trying to top the already-present cheese...

Druid 5 / Planar Shepard 10 / Contemplative(luck) 5 // Wizard 20

Take a plane where time goes so fast that you can rest and recover or choose new spells each round. So much for Jack Vance.
