    Default Gestalt Charisma SAD build [3.5]

    Hey, I'm going to play in a gestalt gladiator arena type campaign soon and I decided I would try to make a Charisma SAD gish (more fighty than magic though)

    So here's the build:

    Chaotic Good Human

    Wilder2/Bard10/FavoredSoul8//CobraStrikeMonk2/PaladinofFreedom4/PiousTemplar1/ArcaneDuelist2/HolyLiberator4/Swiftblade4/MysticWanderer1/WitchHunter1/Crusader1

    Important Stuff: Snowflake Wardance, Divine Might, Slippers of Battle Dancing

    This build adds Charisma to Saves 3x, AC 2x, Initiative 1x, Touch AC 1x, Evasion, Mettle, A little bit of both arcane and divine casting, and some manuevers

    Is there any way to improve the Charisma SADness or round it out, mostly I can see there being a lack of offense on this build right now

    Evil's Blessing can give Cha to saves, but that probably contradicts something in there.

    The ghost template adds to it, but as far as I can tell your better off without the +5 LA

    Squeeze some Walker in the Waste (It's Hot Outside) 10 in there somewhere and you've got CHA to hp.
    If a tree falls in a forest, the Druid will make sure you hear about it.

    That'd be because everything on the other side past level 5 is full of PrC's.
    Of course, by the time I finish this post, it will already be obsolete. C'est la vie.

    I never liked the 1 sided Prc only.

    I needed the Bard levels to fuel Snowflake Wardance anyways

    Ascetic Mage will re-key your monk's wis bonus to AC into a cha bonus. Can't tell if you get 2nd level spontaneous arcane spells though(only thing left you'd need to qualify).

    If you pick up Force of Personality, you can use it in place of Wisdom on many Will saves.

    What's going on with Favored Soul? When I look at it, all I see are fewer slots for Ruin Delver's Fortune.

    Also of note:

    I have a number of ongoing projects that I manically jump between to spend my free time ... so don't be surprised when I post a lot about something for a few days, then burn out and abandon it.
    ... yes, I need to be tested for ADHD.

    There's the Stunning (Surge?) weapon enhancement (DMG II/MIC), that allows you to make a stunning attack with the DC based on CHA, and the number of uses per day is also based on CHA.

    Needed for both Mystic Wanderer (divine casting PrC) and Witch Hunter (magic circle against evil) and I decided to pick up a few more levels while I was progressing Swiftblade since Swiftblade is already progressing bard

    Forgot about that, it'll be 3x Cha to AC now and no armor doesn't matter since I'll be using Greater Luminous Armor anyways

    Why won't Divine Bard work?

    It should be noted that spontaneous casters can only use scrolls of sanctified spells.

    Probably because that's the arcane class he's qualifying for, and progressing with, the Swiftblade PrC.
