Well warblade artificer it is. I think I have a good enough grasp of artificer to pull it off. The dm has also informed me that there will he enough dead time between games to accomplish some crafting.
Last question though. Im really liking the iaijutsu idea. Wondering if taking a1 level dip of factotum on the artificer side would be the best way to get iaijutsu focus? Also wondering if a 2 level fighter dip for a couple extra feats on the warblade side is worthwhile. Not sure if either of these trades is worth the lost progression?

Fighter 2/warblade 2 - factotum 1/artificer 3 is the proposed build vs warblade 4/artifice 4.

Well small change to starting build. The other player in the game happens to be the wife of the DM. I guess shes been guilt tripping him that the +4 LA on half fiend is to high. I agree. He asked if I was ok with him lowering it to which I replied "You're letting me play a gestalt character with half of it as Artificer, make the level adjustment 0 for all I care." Well that answer earned me an extra level! Game now starting at level 5. So, the above question still stands but now the starting proposals are:


Fighter 2-Warblade 3/Artificer 5 (2 extra feats for one lost initiator level)

Warblade 5/Artificer 4-Factotum 1(just to get iaijutsu focus, along with the other added benefits)

Fighter 2-Warblade 3/Artificer 4-Factotum 1 (both options-this may or may not lose me a prestige class choice later on...he's really funny on the multiple class builds-not gonna argue with him over it, I like his games to much to voice many complaints and this is my first chance to play gestalt so ill go with it.)

If you're still planning on TWF, ranger is a better option than fighter. It gets TWF as a bonus feat without needing to meet the Dex prereq.

Seconded, and you can get I-2WF with Gloves of the Balanced hand, no real feat or attribute cost.

Iajutsu is better earlier rather then later, especially since you can use sapphire nightmareblade
