A little background first, I think, is in order. My group of consistent players is tiny (3 people including myself. We will call them A and B). So instead of adding flaky players and dropping the game when they flake on us, we decided that we would play with gestalt characters. We would play with them taking turns DMing every other week (week 1:game 1 A DMing, week 2:game 2 B DMing, week 3:game 1 ...). They would both play 2 characters since they have played D&D pretty much their whole lives while I will play one character per game. My first character was no problem since B waited for me to make a desicion on what I wanted to play before making his choices. My second character was a lot harder. I told A that I was thinking bard//favored soul level 4 so he made a melee tank and ranged arcane characters.
But here is the thing. We have now played our first day of Game 1 and I am loving the diverse complexity of the character I made for that game (rogue 2/ warblade 2//duskblade 4) and I am rethinking of my second character. I was talking to the guys and they both want to help me create something that I will love to play too so I don't give up after a while and begin to hate that week's game. So they threw some prestige classes at me and I am liking what I am reading about Holt Warden and only thing that comes to mind is Druid to go into it beforehand.
What would you pair with Holt Warden and then what would be a good class for the other side of the gestalt character? would it be better to go 5druid/10 holt warden//15 something, OR 5 something/10 holt warden//15 druid?
