Never trust fairies. See Tam Lin. All sorts of odd situations happen with them.

It's interesting to see how different the teams are.

Monster is very... egotistic. And oddly friendly. This looks like a courtroom. XD

Yeah...she's not as mature as she thinks she is. :P

And sure, let's get this out the door -I'm willing to shut her up for that much. ;) All we really still need at this point is to decide/have suggested a place to begin looking, methinks. Can't really go anywhere without a destination!

From my reading it looked somewhat like Singorn had an idea of exactly where he wanted the party to go in Suul, but hasn't divulged that information.

OK, finally reworking my character... I like the Sublime Archer class, but hate almost all of the homebrew disciplines it uses. Since Diamond Arrow and Striking Eagle were already approved for this game, I am going to use the following disciplines for Sublime Archer, instead of the ones it normally uses:
Phoenix Arrow, Diamond Mind, Diamond Arrow,  and Striking Eagle.

Unfortunately the levels in the summary and detailed descriptions don't match for Striking Eagle, but it looks like in most cases the summary is correct.

I'm dumping the Bloodstorm Blade levels and instead taking more Sublime Archer.

Sublime Archer uses a "medium" fort save, which I don't know how to progress in gestalt...

I haven't checked the math all the way through, but fractionally I think it starts at 1 and 5/12ths and increases by 5/12ths at each level. That fits the pattern through the first 8 or so levels, I think. I can double-check after dinner.

Because it's half way between a good and a bad save, the exact average of the two. D20 Modern uses saves similar to that, although not the exact same formula (so as to better fit into 10-level classes).

1+5/12 is almost there.  It would need rounding to get to the SA progression.  1+2/5 also seems to work well enough to get +9 at 20.

It might be worth posting the idea in either Ask a Question or the regular D&D 3.5 board.

Honestly, it might just be easier to go with 1/2 per level.  That's how a lot of things scale up anyway is 10+1/2HD+relevant mod.

Given the 2/2/3 pattern for how many levels to get the next bonus, we're looking at a +3/7 progression. However, it's not 1 + 3/7. After checking the break points it seems to be 6/7 + 3/7 * level
(click to show/hide)

Making it 1+3/7 would be simple enough. Just add +1 level 7 and 14.

It's also one of the more clunky formulas for a basic trait progression I've seen, compared to the mildly useful but not really distinctive conceptual role it fills. Just... ew.

I might suggest seeing if SirP will allow you to just change it to a "good" save since there aren't traditionally any "medium" progressions for saves.

The other side of my gestalt has Fort as a good save. So I realized it doesn't even matter. Sorry. :P

Edit: Think I'm done updating, except for picking 12 more skill points... Will get to that later.
