[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4764456, member: 35909"] Try not to give yourself too much MAD. I'd stick with other int-focused classes and just jack that up -- Factotem, Psion, Warblade, Duskblade. I personally don't like duskblade, and for you, it'd be a lot of stuff you could get as wizard spells anyway. Facototem gives you int to MANY things,and with inspiration points, you can do things like auto-beat SR. there are spells for that too, though. The best thing is the versatility the class offers, and you cna choose any skills to put ranks in, they're all class skills. Psion is just crazy casting power. One problem is that powers and spells are separate, which means even though you both use int, unliek a wizard/cleric, you'd need to take metamagic feats twice and such to affect both classes. Mildly annoying. I think this is a bad gestalt though, because you retain your crap HD and BAB, gain no extra good saves, and...no matter how much you can cast, you still only get your one turn per round. Warblade is just nice. Adds d12 HD, full BAB, good fort saves, slightly more skill points and skills (including useful ones, like tumble), and maneuvers. both something touse to stretch out your spellusage at early levels and something to do when you have no spells useful for the situation.Also adds int to a fair number of things, including reflex saves (so you'd effectively have all good saves). I'd say do Wizard/factotem if your friend does cleric/fighter, or wizard/warblade if he does cleric / rogue type. In any case, try to cover the 4 main class types (warrior, skills guy, arcanist, divine caster) between you two, and it's better to not have only one person with all the casting. Both for limits of actions and in case one of you is incapacitated. [/QUOTE]
