Death of the dragons (OOC)

I'm looking for people looking to play a 3.5 gestalt campaign.
Takes place in a semi-custom world (technology exists but owned only by the extremely wealthy and lucky few, though used almost everywhere)

stats

Stats: 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 14
Level: 5th
Money: As DMG
All non devil/demonic/celestial templates/races are allowed .
Everyone gets a +1 weapon.
Histories are appreciated but not necessary.
Alignments: No Chaotic Evil


Books

Core 3.5
Races of the dragon
Draconomicon
Spell Compendium
Magic Item Compendium
Races of the Wild
Book of Exalted Deeds
Complete Champion
Complete Scoundrel
Complete Mage
Complete Warrior
Eberron
Sandstorm
Frostfire
Savage Species
Complete Psionics
Psionic handbook
Expanded Psionic Handbook
I have many more in PDF form, just ask


Story: It is 100 years after the events of BoF3. Map here (Google it for more info.) The death of Myria and Diez was not the end of the gods, instead, from them were born multitudes of, but lesser than, deities. Ryu protects the chrylsm eggs until they hatch and let the dragons grow, but about a year ago Ryu disappeared and now the dragons are being killed off Your adventure starts in a little place called McNeils Village.

House Rules/Equipment

I forgot to post these earlier, most are designed to make you survive longer.
1.If you die in combat, at the end of the battle you are revived with temporary loss of 1% max HP until resting at an inn.
2.More Weapons: Claymore: 2d8 Critical:x3 (min str 16) Price:43gp Type:Slashing Weight:20lb. Two-Handed
Shotgun: shot:1d8 in 15ft line; Slug:3d8 Crit:x3 Price:550gp, Type:Bludgeoning Weight:15lb Range:Shot:20; Slug:30
Shot and Slugs cost twice as much as arrows for the same amount.

Race restrictions?

Edit: And... how do you handle things like...

Ranger/Scout 5 with the Swift Hunter feat? There are other examples I just thought I'd use one that is obvious.

count me in

How about Tome of Battle? I still havent gotten to use that book
(if yes, can my feral human swordsage 4 have beast claws as his +1 weapon? )

Can we use templates from savage species?
(My 3 favorite are Feral+1LA, Insectile and Winged+2LA)

How do you feel about characters taking a flaw from Unearthed Arcana?

Mount questions: Can we use the "warbeast" template from MMII, or the "magebred" template from Eberron? If mounts are even appropriate to your campaign concept.

Magebred Warcarver Mount
Size/Type: Large Animal

Speed: 70 ft. (14 squares)
Armor Class: 26 (-1 Size, +4 Dex, +9 Natural, +4 Armor), touch 12, flat-footed 15
BaB/Grapple: +3/+7
Attack: Talons +10 melee (2d6+7)
Full Attack: Talons +10 melee (2d6+7) and 2 foreclaws +8 melee (1d3+3) and bite +8 melee (2d4+3)
Space/Reach: 10 ft./5 ft.
Special Attacks: Pounce
Special Qualities: Low-light vision, Scent, Combative Mount

Never played gestalt before, I'm thinking of a good sorcerer/favored soul of a demonic bloodline (no template, but feat).

What pantheon you will use?

1. Nothing demonic or devil.
2. Sure, I will allow all combos and almost any feat.

Excellent, I've always preferred the Magic and Psioncs are the same ruleing.

Incidently flaws are available on the SRD here...

Character Flaws :: d20srd.org

Each one grants you an additional feat.

Maladas Morganwrath
Grey Elf, Old (+2 to mental stats, -3 to physical stats)

Classes = Psion Shaper 3/ Monk 2
Wizard 3/ Cerebremancer 2

Notes: Elf Generalist substitution from Races of the Wild if allowed. Basically gives 1 extra spell slot at highest level and adds 1 free spell to spellbook each level in exchange for giving up the chance to become a specialist wizard.

Feats:
Collegiate Wizard 1st
Scribe Scroll Wizard 1st
Psi-Crystal Affinity Psion 1st
Psionic Body 3rd
Stunning Fist Monk 1st
Deflect Arrows Monk 2nd

If Flaws are allowed...

Overchannel for Noncombatant
Talented for Feeble

More to come...

Gestalt is a mechanic for making characters significantly more powerful. Basically you take two classes at each level instead of one and get to select the best of everything from between the two. For example if you were to level up as Monk and Wizard, you would get the Monk's d8 hit die, the Monk's saves, and probably the Monks BAB, you would also get the Wizards spell casting abilities, etc.

My apologies if my rampant power gameing contributed to you leaving Shayuri it just seemed it was that kind of game, I can tone it down if thats not the case.
