Best Gestalt Combos?

[szilard]

The below is, more or less, the build I played in an incredibly-overpowered game. We were allowed normal multiclassing with gestalt but there were serious limits on racial HD and LAs:

1 - Sorcerer 1/Human Paragon 1
2 - Monk 1/Human Paragon 2
3 - Monk 2/Human Paragon 3
4 - Sorcerer 2/Fighter 1
5 - Sorcerer 3/Fighter 2
6 - Sorcerer 4/Dragon Disciple 1
15 - Sorcerer 13/Dragon Disciple 10
16 - Sorcerer 14/Paladin 1
17 - Sorcerer 15/Paladin 2
18 - Sorcerer 16/Paladin 3
19 - Sorcerer 17/Paladin 4
20 - Sorcerer 18/Marshall 1

With Human Paragon and Dragon Disciple, his strength and charisma were through the roof. With his natural armor, charisma bonus, and ascetic mage, he had a great AC.
With Arcane Strike, Rhino Rush, Power Attack, Smite Evil, and Pounce (via shapechange to a Leonal), he could deal out ~1000 hp of damage in a round, if he had to.

?

nobody mentioned druid/psion or druid/psychic warrior??
druid/wizard is great, but druid/psionicxxx is far more flexible

plus, does natural spell worth with arcane spells?

I'm making a kalashtar divine mind/wilder for my girlfriend right now. There's a remarkable amount of synergy between the two classes. Divine Mind gives some very nice auras, decent durability, good powers & abilities from mantles, and Divine Grace.

Psychic Warrior has the advantage of being Wis-based, so no MAD.

Druid // Psychic Rogue -- skills, evasion, sneak attack, and utility powers that you can't duplicate with the Druid spell list -- but I still think Druid // Rogue is mostly better.

Druid // Monk 6 / Psychic Warrior 14 -- mostly for the mad bonus feats but there are a few powers that just can't be duplicated by any spell, such as claws of the vampire, which are quite handy for the Druid.

Our rules are slightly different - you can take prestige classes on both sides at the same time, just not the crazy double ones like ultimate magus/eldritch xxx/etc. (however, you do need to find one to train you first).

In my current campaign we have the following:

Human Dread Necromancer//Warlock
Human Cleric//Favored Soul
Human Dragon Shaman//Dragonfire Adept/Fighter
Elf Archivist//Wizard (Evoker)
Elf Ranger//Rogue/Ghost-faced Killer
Half-Ogre Barbarian//Fighter (going into WarHulk)
Human Wizard (Abjurer)/Master Abjurer//Sorcerer/Incantatrix

In a new campaign starting soon we'll have the following:

Human Wu Jen//Wizard (Enchantress)
Human Wizard (Abjurer)//Duskblade
Human Fighter//Rogue
and 4 others the players have not submitted yet

The one I'm really looking forward to playing is Wizard (Abjurer)=> Master Abjurer=> Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil=> Argent Savant // Duskblade=> Abjurant Champion=> ?

Half-Ogre Fighter=> War Hulk // Barbarian=> Frenzied Berserker is pretty nasty as well.

Abjurant Champion really doesn't work with the Duskblade since you are limited to the Duskblade spell list.

Psion/Incarnate
Binder/Totemist
Warlock/Sorcerer

For Starters (Incarnum is great for gestalt builds)
