[QUOTE="Horwath, post: 7068266, member: 6801299"] Well, that is kind of two edged sword here. Many of us just love to play in DnD's sweet spot. That is levels from 6 to 10. You are quite more powerfull than your common folk that you meet on the way, but still not in nation/world shattering league. And staying here while enjoyable can get boring if new toys come very slowly, if at all. Try the E6, E8 or E9 verstion with continous gestalt leveling. Lets say that your leveling stops at level 9. great spot. +4 proficiency bonus. 1 level 5 spell for casters, level 3 spells for half casters. Some cool features for martial classes. Now, when you get enough exp to "level" from that you gain 1st level in second class. You do not gain any HP from leveling, no extra HD for healing. Unless the next class has bigger HD than your current then you exchange HPs and HDs for that level. I.E. as 9th level cleric you have 8 HP + 8×5 HP, and 9 d8 HDs. if you gain a level of fighter as second Gestalt class, your 1st level HP goes from 8 to 10 and you exchange one of your d8 HDs with one d10 HD. You gain all weapon/armor proficiencies as well as all special features of the second class. No matter how many of this secondary levels you gain you never gain HP(except if you go for bigger HD then you just gain the difference), never gain higher proficiency bonus, or higher level spells. This will make your character little more powerfull as you will have more options, but you are still limited by 9th level proficiency bonus, 9th level HPs, and 9th level class features. And mostly still limited by 1 action, 1 bonus action and 1 reaction per turn. You will feel of character growth in broadness of skill but not height of high level mostly campaign breaking powers.
