I'm writing up a character for a gestalt Weapons of Legacy game and I decided to play a Soulknife (Mau-Jehe is my chosen WoL). Yes, I'm quite aware of how bad the class is and I'm also aware of the "mind-blade" PsyWar feature. I'm running a Soulknife for one side.
The game has some important houserules for character building. Unearthed Arcana (variant races, classes, traits, and bloodlines are good to go, flaws are not), Core, PHB2, DMG2, SRD, Completes, MIC, and Spell Compendium are the allowed sources. I don't believe the generic classes are open, but I will ask. I get 2 randomly determined traits, though I'm not sure if I have to take them or not. Legacy Champion has been houseruled to advance original class features at every level. It also MUST be levels 10-20 on one side of the gestalt (although counts as a base class, so PrC's on the other side are fine). Any multiclassing (PrC or base) must have at least 5 levels or the entire PrC, whichever is less. Up to 4 classes total, not including Legacy Champion. Maximum LA of +1, which applies to one side of the gestalt. We start at level 4, halfway to level 5. Wealth by level is standard, but WoL does not count against it. Finally, it's a 39 point buy (wierd, I know).
Now, the image I had for the character is a devil-may-care attitude (think Dante from Devil May Cry for an idea of the personality). He's good at getting out of things or pissing people off (usually both at the same time). I'll have Tumble as an important skill, and likely ranks in Escape Artist as well.
Now, here comes the difficulty: deciding what to take on the other side of the gestalt. My first thoughts were Ranger (full BAB, good Fort save, better skills, and also fulfills the missing "outdoorsy type" that one of the players requested) and Swashbuckler (free weapon Finesse, an ability to focus on Int and thus better skills, full BAB and good Fort). If it were available, I would go Factotum without another thought. Are there any other suggestions?
The players already in have a Fighter4//Sorcerer3/Bloodline 1 with Crimson Ruination and a Rogue 4//Warlock 4 with Ghostfolly's Gloves.
