This is more what the mystic thurge looks like. So a rogue/fighter would have the feats and sneak attack (and other specials) of both, but have rogue BAB and HD, fighter skill points, and no good saves. Harsh? Definitely, but the alternative is insane to put in with a group of normally created characters. It also switches the balance of power in terms of what classes are good to stick together somewhat. Combos that would be underpowered in a BoBW gestalt system (because the strengths of both classes are in skill points and they are close on other variable factors) become better options in a WoBW gestalt. But my basic opinion is that since some classes have their main strength in the "extras", while others have the melded "variable factors" as a source of more power, its very hard to assign a single LA to a "gestalt character". Each one has to be looked at individually.Kahuna Burger</blockquote>
