Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aazenius" data-source="post: 4722290" data-attributes="member: 2607">A Gestalt Hero is basically the equivalent to 2 normal characters. So why would someone want to play one? Well most adventures are designed for 4 to 6 players. 2 Gestalt characters are about equal to 4 normal characters. This allows you to run adventures designed for 4-5 characters with only 2. If you are making your own adventures I'd make them as if you had 4 normal characters in the group if you plan on using Gestalt rules. I ran 2 characters through the Adventure in the back of the DM's Guide following the Gestalt rules above. The last 2 encounters were pretty tough but they made it. The last fight with the dragon was an interesting fight, both characters were bloodied a few times in the fight, and that was with the Dragon rolling pretty bad. The two characters I am DMing for are a Longtooth Shifter Shaman/Warden and a Razorclaw Druid/Ranger. You don't have to buy pre-created adventures, I just used the one in the back ot the DM's guide as a test. After 5 encounters they had both used about half of their healing surges, and 1 of their dailies. However I have discovered some things that are broken and I have fixed them above.</blockquote>
