Essentially, he was newer to the game, great roleplayer, fell in love with Bards (Court Bard) and joined one of our games. It was a bit higher power than him (The blasting sorc in particular was raising the damage bar a bit much), but he was contributing well and everyone was having fun.
Then teh campaign went Gestalt, and suddenly the power gaps got a fair bit more obvious. With the GM scaling encounters to the new general power level, well, he feels a bit useless. WE're only at level 5, but he's basically being allowed a complete rebuild. He his high Dex, Cha, and racial flight, and I'm guessing he'll wank to keep some skill monkeying ability. He'll definitely want to keep Court Bard. I was just hoping for some help to bring him up to the power of the rest of the party. (Sorc/Fighter, Druid/Cleric (I know, ouch), Inquisitor/Ranger, Fighter/Scholar)
Oh, and I'm guessing at least one of the players will notice this here, so I hope you don't object to a bit of outside help to make the guy feel more, well, useful.
