[QUOTE="Wilphe, post: 2098793, member: 8221"] 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: [B]Has anyone tried mixing Gestalt Characters with Regular Characters?[/B] [B]Has anyone tried gestalting more than two classes?[/B] Gestalt Fighter/Rogue/Wizard would seem to be close to 2E Fighter/Mage/Thief [b]How do/would you balance them against regualar classes?[/b] 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, [url]http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=76907[/url] 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.
