Fochlucan Lyrist is a dual progression PrC (actually it is a quad-progression one, but who's counting after 2? :D). It is not allowed as per gestalt rules.

At what point should we be ready with our characters?

I may see what I can do with a Chameleon, then, or maybe a Bard/Fochlu-quiche type of build.  I've a yen for a more flamboyant character.   :smirk

Bard/Crusader with Song of the White Raven and Dragonfire Inspiration is always fun!

I am ready to start when you guys are. Say Sunday/Monday (NZ time, +12GMT)? Or do you need more time?

I can manage my stuff out by then. Tomorrow is going to be a quiet day at work, so I'll try to finish my character then if at all possible.

I am stymied.  So many possibilities!  Any thoughts on what people would LIKE to see from me?

. . . I mean, I **could** always do a DFA . . . it does seem to be what folks expect from me, nowadays . . .

This is an excellent idea! Unless you wish to do a DFA I could actually make one. However, I don't want to step on your turf if you actually considering making one.

Hmm...I'm still thinking as well.  What roles do we need filled?  I mean, I appreciate that it's a gestalt game, but we do have a lot of people still working on pinning down builds.

I just don't want to do another gish because it seems to be all I ever try.  I don't have experience with Druids, so I'm not really comfortable trying it out with the Wildshape variant.

Unless something occurs to me, I may just have to sit this one out in favor of focusing on my other games.

Don't worry about having to be super optimised. I mean I have run this setting with two guys and two cohorts before (all gestalt). One of them is a Warlock//Scout, and another a Favoured Soul/Dragonheart Mage//Sorcerer/Dracolexi. And they are played with player Wis 8, no tactics, etc.

Just play what you want. I am generally good enough that I can gauge your party ability and not engineer a TPK. Generally...

Don't . . . optimize?

Does not compute.   :D

I like gestalt, though - it allows for a lot more creativity and some really fun character concepts.  Are environmental racial variants cool by you?  Or Silverbrow humans from Dragon Magic?  Trying to make my guy.

No. Just the guys from the PHB and MM, please. The only exception (that I can think of) is the Races of Dragon web enhancement because that can be applied to the base Kobold out of the MM.

You can add the Draconic template to your character to get your dragonblooded subtype. There is no restriction on that, but note taht since Unearthed Arcana is out, so is LA buyback.

Gotcha.  That helps - venerable Dragonwrought Kobold it is!

I'm having fun with a truly draconically flavored caster.  Good times!

Seems I keep running into the problem of coming up with ideas before checking sources, so: is a Strongheart Halfling or possibly a Whisper Gnome Beguiler/Warblade kosher?  Could fit the general feel I'm trying to go for.

Just the basic ones. Whisper Gnome is from Races of Stone, so it's out. Strongheart Halfling is from FR, so taht is out too.

Dang, was looking at the "races of" part instead of the bit about PHB and MM.  Forgot Strongheart was FR, thought it was RotW.

I'd love to be one of the small folk for flavor, but the human feat is hard to give up.  I'll take another look and see if it's still worth it.

Yeah - near impossible to do anything to top that, for sure.  Dragonwrought is about the only thing worth it.

Looks like I'm set up to be trapmonkey...complete with d12 HD, good Fort and Will saves, and Battle Clarity for my Reflex saves.  :D
