I've done a search*, and no one seems to have made this suggestion, I'm not sure if I am insane or heretical but:
Has anyone tried mixing Gestalt Characters with Regular Characters?
Has anyone tried gestalting more than two classes?
Gestalt Fighter/Rogue/Wizard would seem to be close to 2E Fighter/Mage/Thief
How do/would you balance them against regualar classes?
I presume you make them level up slower, but how much slower?
50% more?
100% more?
What is the single class equivalent of a two class gestalt 10 (say Fighter/Sorcerer)?
It's more than 10, but it is certainly much less than20
What is the single class equivalent of a three class gestalt 10 (Fight/Rogue/Wizard)
It's more than 10, but it is certainly no where near 30
You'd have:
A BAB of 10
All maxed saves
d10s for hit points
8 skill points
Cast as Wizard 10
6 Fighter Feats
2 Wizard Feats
But given that you:
Have got to spread Attributes, Skill points, Feats and Equipment fairly widely if you to be good at all three - how powerful are you really?
I'm aware of the fact that F/M/Ts are something that most people are glad went away in 3E...
I'm also aware that I not 100% familiar with the concept,
http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=76907
but I'm curious
I'd probably want to try this if I ever get to DM; it's just a matter of balancing...
And please don't tell me "Well PrCs make this irelevent"; I know they do in some cases, but not in all. I'm in it for the intellectual exercise.

Well I've done a search for "Fighter/Mage/Thief", searching for "Gestalt" made my heard hurt
PPS: I also know that Unearthed Arcana says "Don't do this this fool"; that's why I want to do it.
