[QUOTE="Asmor, post: 3149284, member: 1154"] So I was bored and had an amusing thought... A gestalt warlock/cleric/wizard/mystic theurge/eldritch disciple/eldritch theurge. I'm fairly sure this meets all the spell/invocation requirements, as well as the skill caps although I'm not sure how easy it would be to actually get all the neccessary ranks. But the end result is a level 17 gestalt character who has essentially level 20 in warlock, cleric and wizard. Note that: The Mystic Theurge requires level 3 arcane/3 divine (level 2 spells of each) and skills ith 6 ranks so can be taken by character level 3 The Eldritch Disciple requires level 3 divine/1 warlock (level 2 spells, only needs least invocations), but requires skills with 8 ranks so can't be taken until after character level 5 The Eldritch Theurge requires level 3 arcane/3 warlock (level 2 spells and 2d6 eldritch blast), but requires skills with 8 ranks so can't be taken until after character level 5. I've grouped classes together for ease of writing this down, but from level 6 on you can mix up the ordering that you take the prestige classes to advance somewhat equally in each of your classes, and still slowly pull ahead of the curve. Level 1-3: Wizard 3/Cleric 3 Level 4-5: Warlock 2/Mystic Theurge 2 Level 6-8: Mystic Theurge 5/Eldritch Disciple 3 Level 9-14: Eldritch Disciple 9/Eldritch Theurge 6 Level 16-17: Mystic Theurge 8/Eldritch Disciple 9 Total: Warlock 2/Wizard 3/Cleric 3/Mystic Theurge 8/Eldritch Disciple 9/Eldritch Theurge 9 Arcane: Wizard 3 + Mystic Theurge 8 + Eldritch Theurge 9 = 20 Divine: Cleric 3 + Mystic Theurge 8 + Eldritch Disciple 9 (-1) = 19 Warlock: Warlock 2 + Eldritch Theurge 9 + Eldritch Disciple 9 = 20 EDIT: D'oh! I forgot the eldritch disciple misses a level of divine spell advancement... So Divine should actually be 19. :( Still, that's pretty freaking good, and easily remedied by taking cleric at level 18.
