[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 4843697, member: 478"] The problem is, that you essentially become a three-class-character then, not just two classes. i.e. (example with Mystic Theurge, because it is quite straightforward) 1st Wizard | Cleric 2nd Wizard | Cleric 3rd Wizard | Cleric 4th Mystic Theurge | Fighter 5th Mystic Theurge | Fighter 6th Mystic Theurge | Fighter ... So, up until 13th level, you have FULL wizard *and* cleric spellcasting, plus almost full BAB, tons of Fighter feats and so on, and so on, and so on. That is certainly not the intention. ;) Another common problem is Level Adjustment. Some DMs allow LA to take up one side of the Gestalt, thereby effectively making a character, that is TWICE its actual character level (up to an increase equal to the LA). That's the same as to allow full stacking of Wizard | Wizard (i.e. +2 caster levels each level and so on; which is obviously not allowed, but just as a comparison of the power level). That is certainly not the intention either. ;) Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
