Introduction

I am gona play an E8 gestalt game using tome material, UA and what the DM alows from our findings.

I have selected to play a Fire Mage, i like the feel of it, with the most i can get of fire related feats. But stil be viable as a primary damage dealer.

Fire Genasi, Fire Mage, Fire Feats (Pyro, Fire, Flaming and such in the name)

As of the other half of the gestalt im free to choose, the others will be a rogue/xx and a cleric/paladin or so. They will use me as the team bomb, when everithing fails i do the horrible devastation (something like Richard from LFG). I would like something that would enhance my capabilities, add to the flavour and posibly give me some mobility.
