Help with back up build?

[Westhart]

So, I am in a game and I have had to rework my character somewhat (:smallfrown:). It is gestalt, and one side is claimed (Fencer (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?541664-The-Fencer-3-5-base-class-by-request)), but on the other side of the gestalt I was thinking Factotum (3)/monk 1 (using the feat to key off int)/X. Not sure what to go, but I'd prefer not to go caster if possible. Basically she's a skill monkey/dueling melee type, and in combat the commander type, so more natural "hey, take the shot" then "If we create a pincer blah bleh blah here and bert blep lop here then we can do this" type. So, not much of a head for large scale tactics but is perfectly well in combat. We'll be starting at 6th level and we gain a feat every level.

Oh if it matters, I have flaws but am using them for able learner and nymph's kiss.

This is backup in case I don't get The Commander (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?409691-The-Commander-(3-P-class-PEACH)) approved, although feat selections would be great either way :smallbiggrin:. Thanks again!

Before anything else, what else is the group using and what level of optimization? What sources are available?

Everything from paladins to wizards, optimization varied.


What sources are available?
I assumed all first party, however:

"Characters may be of any class from an Wizards published media."

Faerie Mysteries Initiate seems like an obvious choice here. Swashbuckler 3 seems solid too, for free Weapon Finesse and another iteration of Int to damage... Or jump straight into Warblade, I guess.

Ah yes, should have thought of FMI and swashbuckler :smalltongue:. Why warblade over swordsage?

Int synergy? Though now that I think about it, Warblades really don't get that much use out of it... any ToB class, really.

Warblade does get white raven though, now that I think about it....
