I'm making a gestalted 10th level character who is supposed to be a martial with leader-type abilities.
One side of the gestalt is already set in stone, which is Scaled Fist Unch. Monk 2 / Sister-In-Arms Cavalier 8.
The other side I have a bit of trouble with. I know I want to use Skald and Antipaladin, but I don't know if I should go Skald 2 / Dread Vanguard Antipal. 8 or (Insinuator?) Antipal. 2 / Skald 8. Both options give tempting abilities and bonuses. Also, I'm set on at least 2 levels of both Skald (for Versatile Perform., among other things) and Antipal. (for Unholy Resilience, among other things).
Edit: Almost forgot to mention, the character will be Dex-based and unarmored. He has a good Str; great Dex, Con, Int and Wis; awesome Cha.
How are you going to be Antipaladin (Chaotic Evil), with Monk (Lawful) and a Gray Maiden Archetype (story wise Lawful Neutral, or at least Lawful)?
Also what are you really getting out of 2 levels of Monk and 2 levels of Skald other than cheesing Charisma to AC? Gestalt has enough going on and is generally best left to two straight classes.

Quote: Also what are you really getting out of 2 levels of Monk and 2 levels of Skald other than cheesing Charisma to AC? Monk for the aforementioned Cha to AC, unarmed strikes, Evasion, bonus feats, potentially other things depending on if I'll take any other archetype(s).
Skald for some basic buffing and (as I mentioned) Versatile Performance (for flavor), maybe some other things from archetypes.
whats the point of the thread?

The question should have been written plain view, and not implied. So Secret's question is very plausible.
Also the GM has to justify allowing houserule on classes with opposite alignments. Lots would say, no the player is forbidden to do so.

Big question is whether you plan to intimidate. If so, go for Aura of Cowardice with a 3rd level of Antipally. But honestly that's not that great either.
