Recruiting for High Level Gestalt

You can't full attack with an Eldritch Blast (EB is a Standard Action, not an Attack), so you attack entry there should be +13 instead of +13/+8.

Concepts:

1) Orc Barbarian/Hexblade gestalted with Rogue or Bard. This guy would be all about fighting dirty, cursing his oppenents, and seizing every advantage he can. Bard spells like Fear, Eyebite, and Nightmare would accent the "evil eye" theme. He wouldn't necessarily be evil, but you sure wouldn't want to get on his bad side. Sort of a vengeance theme going on with this guy.

2) Human or Elven Warmage gestalted with Marshal and Bard. He would focus on battlefield tactics, leading men from afar while raining down death with his spells.

3) Dwarven Paladin/Defender gestalted with Cleric. The definition of "tank".

For the gestalt game I ran I un-banned the hybrid classes, but "balanced" PrC's by saying that PrC levels weren't gestalted; only base-class levels.

On another note: I'm pondering the following variant for my Druid/Incarnate:
Druid
The druid might choose to give up her wild shape ability in exchange for becoming a swift and deadly hunter.

Gain
Bonus to Armor Class when unarmored (as monk, including Wisdom bonus to AC)

Ungestalting Prc does solve problems, but seems punative. Comparing a Rogue/Wizard to an Arcane trickster, the rogue/wizard has a better BAB, better hit points, better skills, slightly better special abilities (depending on level). The rogue/wizard is easier to qualify for, seems unbalanced against the prestige class.

The only thing that would concern me about the druid abilities you have outlined there would be the + Wisdom to AC and that being the prime spell casting stat as well. Perhaps something similar, like Cha to AC or Con? Just an idea.
 

Lord Wyrm: Sorry. Here they are for you:

Exalted Feats:

Nymph's Kiss
Benefit: +2 circumstance bonus to Charisma-related checks, +1 bonus to saves vs spells and spell-like abilities; starting with the level it's taken, +1 skill point per level.

Sacred Vow
Benefit: +2 perfection bonus to Diplomacy

Vow of Poverty
Prerequisites: Sacred Vow
Benefit: Ascetic special abilities

Nimbus of Light
Benefit: I can shed light as a common lamp, and extinguish and reactivate it as a free action; +2 circumstance bonus to Diplomacy and Sense Motive when interacting with good creatures.

Sanctify Ki Strike
Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, Ki Strike (magic), Cha 15
Benefit: Unarmed strike deals +1 damage to evil creatures, or +1d4 damage to evil outsiders and undead; it is considered good for the purposes of DR.

Fist of the Heavens
Prerequisites: Stunning Fist, Sanctify Ki Strike, Wis 15
Benefit: +2 to Stunning Fist DC when used vs evil; if the attack succedes, the victim is staggered for 1 round after it is stunned.

Intuitive Attack
Prerequisites: BAB +1
Benefit: With a simple weapon of my size or a natural weapon I can use my Wis bonus instead of my Str bonus on attack rolls.

Holy Ki Strike
Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, Ki Strike (lawful), Sanctify Ki Strike, Cha 15
Benefit: Unarmed Strike does +2d6 holy damage to evil creatures, it doesn't stack with Sanctify Ki Strike; it is considered holy for the purposes of DR.

Obviously some PrC's are better than others. Part of the reason I chose that particular ruling was to make PrC's a little rarer. *shrug*

Given that I lose the ability to use Dragonscale medium (and potentially heavy) armor, Wis to AC doesn't seem that out there to me. Especially when you figure the actual cost, which is Wild Shape.

Being able to concentrate on one stat is a big deal (at least in my way of thinking). *Shrug*
 

It's no different than being a spellcaster and concentrating on their primary stat for spellcasting, whether it be Int for wizards, Wis for clerics and druids, or Cha for sorcerers. In that, wizards wild up with a pretty good deal, considering that they get more skill points as they improve their Int while also boosting the save DCs for their spells.

I am curious, though, Pyrex: where did you get this druid variant from? I thought perhaps it was the druidic avenger from Unearthed Arcana, but that's more a druid/barbarian hybrid.

And Lord Wyrm: I've decided on my concept -- I think you'll find it a very interesting choice. I'll fix up stats and the like tomorrow evening -- Friday evening at the latest.
