Default Gestalt Paladin Feats

Hey, so I'm about to start a campaign with a Cleric/Paladin gestalt character, and im looking for feats that help synergize the two classes. Also, im specifically looking for a feat that allow Paladins to use their Wisdom modifier instead of Charisma for their class abilities other than spells. My DM says that if it exists *somewhere*, I can use it. Thanks!

The feat you're looking for is Serenity, and it looks like it can be found in the Dragon Compendium.

Edit: Double checked, and it is in the Dragon Compendium on page 106.

Thanks! :-) I have 'Draconomicon' & 'Dragon Magic', but no 'Dragon Compendium'. Is there somewhere I can find the excerpt?

It's not excerpted anywhere, no. But it's simple enough to use even without the text: anything in the paladin's class features that references Charisma changes to Wisdom.

I think Dantie was referring to Cleric turning. But it doesn't matter; I think gestalt makes them overlay instead of stack, since it's a case of different class feature advancement speed.

Yes. Serenity makes you use wisdom for Divine Grace, Lay on Hands, Smite Evil and Turn Undead.

Edit: RAW, there's no text which indicates the feat only applies to Turn Undead from a Paladin. Feasibly, if you had a Cleric with a 2 level dip in Paladin (to get Divine Grace, which is the pre-req) then you could grab Serenity and have your TU be Wisdom based.

If one of them would be overlaid by the same feature in the other class, I'd recommend looking into alternate class features that can replace the Paladin's Turn Undead with something that won't become essentially-useless. Divine Counter Spell (Complete Mage page 33) comes to mind.

It does, but you can get around that by trading one of them out for Channel Essentia (MoI) or Damage Undead (EtCR). Then get rebuke by going into death delver (HoH) for 9 + 2*Cha + Wis turn attempts per day, +12 for each Extra Turning.

So thus you can have two turning pools to fuel DMM or Divine feats. Handy no. And in a gestalt game having two off the bat is great.
