Ok so while yes I am playing in a PF game, we are using 3.5 material. Well I looked back through and saw that Savage Species still has a few valid creatures in it. Namely the two named in the title.

Are they worth the 12 levels of dedication to them?
This is for a Tristalt game so they dont hurt nearly as bad of course as a straight play, but I was just curious.

Depends. What's the OP level of the gestalt? Are we talking full on optimized where directly synergistic classes and LAs are taken for the most potent effects? If so I could only see the succubi being of any interest if you wanted some heavy use from Cha. Mainly as a casting stat of course. At lower levels of optimization it's almost certainly possible to work that in without much pain.

Moderate Optimization currently.

Was thinking of running a Spellcaster (Genetic)//(Fighter Type)
Yes I know it gets several of the Sorcerer spells as SLA but those save spaces for their spells known right?

Cha is casting stat

The Generic classes only exist if the normal classes don't. so either take sorcerer or generic warrior, if the DM says that you no one does the regular classes.

Tristalt also doesn't exist. It seems this is a pretty relaxed game, so I wouldn't be sure about it. But asking the DM can't hurt, of course.

Since you're allowed to use 3.5 material, look into the X Stat to Y Bonus (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125732) thread for ways to use your extremely high Charisma score to your advantage.

I'd go with something Rogue-ish besides the Sorcerer. Plenty skills, good theme, nice fit for <medium & dextrous>.
Power should be more than fine if you make a smart build, unless you run very high OP.

Remember - as a succubus, you gain telepathy. You can use it for all sorts of hijinks, the most useful of which would be tactical discussions in the middle of the battle.

So I am hearing a lot of Sorcerer//Rogue to be used.
What about Bard levels since those character is the best known for CHA and a constant tongues applies means I can speak to anyone to charm their pants off.

If I go generic I can get Bardic Knowledge and such through feat trades, since things like Warrior runs the PF fighter feat progression anyway on top of PF feats.

Also is the Savage Species better compared to

or

Rather then the 12 level progression.
