I'm looking to put together a character for and ECL 10 gestalt game, and I was hoping for a little help. I recently set eyes on the Swiftblade class (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/prc/20070327), and its really piqued my interest, so I was hoping to get at least a few levels and work towards getting the full compliment of swiftblade levels.
Thats about as far as I've got. Initial thoughts were of a Sorceror/Swiftblade//Spellthief (and/or scout/rogue) as a possibility - since I prefer spontaneous caster types and the Charisma synergy would save having to pump Int or Wis too much. I haven't decided on race yet, as its still more of just a concept.
I've also had a look at the possible variants for the sorceror levels (e.g. battle sorceror, or the PHBII variant to switch out familiar for fast metamagic) and possible haste-related items (boots of speed, wand of haste etc), but thats about a dead end for me.
Does anyone have any good ideas for a Swiftblade type gestalt build like this, including, preferably, WBL item choices. I'm trying to make it as effective as possible without getting too cheesy (My DM is a fan of RFED tactics if people get out of hand).
Any thoughts would be much appreciated
