Theoretical Mega-Gestalt

[Lysander]

As a theoretical exercise, what could you do with an even more potent type of gestalt that allows you to pick three classes with each level instead of two? I mean, being a warblade and arcane/divine or arcane/psionic is an obvious choose, but what's your most ingenious combination?

[Seffbasilisk]

Warmage/Rogue/Wilder. Just for fun. Beautiful Cha symmetry, skillmonkey, and a dice chucker's sweaty awakening.

[Mongoose87]

Well, your most basic response is Wizard//Warblade//Factotum.

[lvl 1 sharnian]

Sorcerer//FavoredSoul//Wilder would one I would like to play

however, Crusader//Warblade//Swordsage would be pretty cool

[Zeta Kai]

I'd go with a Wizard//Druid//Psion. Arcane casting, divine casting, & psi-manifesting goodness, plus a familiar, a companion, & a psi-crystal. What's not to like?

[sambo.]

sorcerer/paladin/<something else Cha based>?

[Saint GoH]

Swordsage//Barbarian//Rogue

weeeeee sneak attack and d12 HD with Dex to Damage. And the ability to gain some STR for even more "boom boom" plus evasion/uncanny dodge and lots of combat tricks.

[mikeejimbo]

It may not be the most powerful build, but I'd go for Wizard//Archivist//Artificer.

I think the most powerful would be Wizard//Wizard//Wizard if my DM would let me.

[Mushroom Ninja]

Druid//PsiWar//Crusader could be pretty fun.

[DaTedinator]

Wizard//Artificer//Factotum. The two most powerful classes, and the most fun one. Plus they synergize well, as they all benefit from high Intelligence, and your action economy is A-OK (action economy is a problem with some other builds; Wizard//Archivist//Psion may seem fun, but you can still only easily cast one or two spells per round), as Artificer can just make items that don't require actions, and Factotum can give you Standard actions.

Although, Wizard//Druid//Psion for three companions does sound like fun. Only slight action economy issues there, given you've got three minions who can all take actions too.

[Faleldir]

My favorite gestalt combo is Unarmed Swordsage// City Brawler Barbarian, so I would just add PsyWar to that.

[Mystic Muse]

For one person I play SW saga with this isn't a theory. he constantly DMs 50 point buy three way gestalt.

[AslanCross]

I'd love to do Rogue//Swordsage//PsyWar.

[Il_Vec]

Yes!! Finally I can make that CW Samurai// Monk // Truenamer!

[NEO|Phyte]

All three ToB classes. Gogo Reshar.

[sonofzeal]

Yes!! Finally I can make that CW Samurai// Monk // Truenamer!

Huzzah! Now you can get maximum benefit out of Int, Wis, AND Cha!

[industrious]

Psion//Factotum//Beguiler.

Plan:

1. Find random passerby
2. Perform the equivalent of Descartes' methodological doubt on said guy.
3. ???
4. Profit.

[Thrice Dead Cat]

Well, your most basic response is Wizard//Warblade//Factotum.

I'd say either this or Wizard//Psion//Archivist, using your +yes spells and some means of DMM to buff yourself to high heaven to mimic the warblade lost in this particular combo.


Wait, why has no one gone with Bookkeeper's Bane: Ultimate Addition?

[Mystic Muse]

Huzzah! Now you can get maximum benefit out of Int, Wis, AND Cha!

or, you know, just use Wizard Cleric and Sorceror.

[Stompy]

Not the most optimized (by a long shot), but warlock//rogue//(sneak attack)fighter seems like fun if only to go invisible, then eldritch blast someone for a lot.

EDIT: sneak attack fighter was a better choice than ninja.

[Lycanthromancer]

Psion//Ardent10/Anarchic Initiate10//Psychic Warrior 10.

Yes, you'll need both Int and Wis, but think of your nova potential...

[Tackyhillbillu]

Unarmed Swordsage//Wildshape Ranger//Totemist

Kung-Fu Dinosaur, wearing badass Incarnum Armor!

[Asdfth]

Wizard//Archivist//Psion
Yes I am casting spells like crazy both divine and arcane.
What's that you try to get a sneak up while I am preparing spells I will crush you with my mind.
Also all int base but only 2 good saves d6 HD and bad Base attack althoujgh magic and psionics cover that nicely .

[Godskook]

Totemist//Warblade//Druid is a fun, powerful, and flavorful setup. Druid and Totemist work really well together on pretty much every level in gestalt(........and now I have a build idea for a game!), and Warblade shores up the horrible weaknesses built into the others by WotC, namely a lack of d12 HD and full BAB. 9th level maneuvers is just a side-perk by comparison.

[SaintRidley]

Provided I can go with dual-progression PrC...

Warlock 5/Eldritch Theurge 10/Warlock 5//Warmage 5/Sorcerer 10/Warmage 5//Dread Necromancer 20

It's not a terribly overpowering combination, but its fun. 20 levels of Warlock, Warmage, and Dread Necromancer for an Uttercold Assault/Horde of the Undead style with Warlock supplements (better DR than straight Warlock, and can put spells and blast together). Invocations are useful for self-support more than anything else, and Sorcerer levels give me just a bit of utility casting.

Nothing fancy, nothing terribly great, but just kind of fun.

[Ixahinon]

20th Morgh (Libris Mortis)//2 Fighter/13 Sorcerer/5 Abjurent Champion//20th Cleric

Boost the hell out of Charisma for a Very High DC Paralyze Touch/Spells. High AC through Abjurent Champion/Natural Armor. D12 HD (Not really worth mentioning, since HP is going to be weak, anyway).

Oh man...I'd be all over this.

[crazedloon]

rogue//ninja//scout

so much precision damage you won't even know what to do with it

[Mongoose87]

20th Morgh (Libris Mortis)//2 Fighter/13 Sorcerer/5 Abjurent Champion//20th Cleric

Boost the hell out of Charisma for a Very High DC Paralyze Touch/Spells. High AC through Abjurent Champion/Natural Armor. D12 HD (Not really worth mentioning, since HP is going to be weak, anyway).

Oh man...I'd be all over this.

Why bother with the Fighter levels?

[Lycanthromancer]

rogue//ninja//scout

so much precision damage you won't even know what to do with it

I wouldn't know what to do with it anyway. I mean, half of everything is immune.

[Ghostwheel]

I just have to point out this combo: Ranger(Urban version if you are so inclined)/Favored Soul/Warmage. Skills, Saves, Salve and Blasting along with either Archery or Melee prowess. [I really like the Urban Ranger variant of this idea, as it gives considerable social skill flexibility.]
