Level: 11 (Gestalt)
Some House-rules on Sorcerer: better spellcasting, bonus feats, Divine Champion is capped at +6
Options are either to stay as he is, which means Paragonistic Initiate 1 for Assist Casting (Penetration) and Tactical Combat (Spell Disrupter - Mage Slayer while Flanking) or return to what he once was (1st level Barbarian - giving Pounce, 3.5 (4) more HP total, Favored Enemy (Arcanist) instead of Rage and 18 more Skill Points free). I don't always have a Swift Action for Travel Devotion (usually, but not always).
Your opinion?
Our DM barely uses real Spellcasters, but he uses Melee/Ranged/Gishes a lot, especially Psionic Gishes and/or NPCs with Standstill/Robilar's Gambit/Thicket of Blades/Reach and a really high AC/Attack. He likes making actual NPCs with Class Levels or making Monsters with Class Levels, as well as bringing things with a CR of 17+ (which we beat regularly, and he doesn't pull his punches). Things casting Greater Dispel at-will (CL 20) are common and annoying.
The Party: Factotum 8/Chameleon 3//Warblade X/Swordsage X/Other X. Melee, 26 INT, uses INT for Hit Points, and has 20 Inspiration Points per Encounter! Does a LOT of damage and acts too often.
Archivist 11//Cleric 1/Scout 4/Ranger 4/Wild Runner 2. Ranged Attacker, 20 INT, uses INT for Hit Points, always gets +3 Dark Knowledge (and Stuns foes!), has every spell you could possibly want (except the really broken ones and a few our DM hates). Does a LOT of damage and casts powerful spells.
Me: CHA Based Swiftblade GishEDIT: Oh, and did I mention next session is the "Final Showdown"? We're fighting
Eltab (under Epic Mind-Control) as well
Szass Tam and all their minions. It's just us, Aglarond, and one crazy, super-powerful Archangel (CN Epic Outsider with 9th level spells, 2 Artifacts and a grudge on Baal. Supposedly stronger than Eltab by quite a bit). Also, we'd had a Prophesy on me freeing Eltab from the control only to have him kill me with a Soul-Stealing Gaze. That's not to say the Campaign ends here (it likely won't), it's just an Epic Battle.
