[QUOTE="Helmed, post: 5719352, member: 14235"] A gestalt character can't combine two prestige classes at any level, although it's okay to combine a prestige class and a regular class. Prestige classes that are essentially class combinations - such as the [b]Arcane Trickster[/b], mystic theurge, and eldritch knight - should be prohibited if you’re using gestalt classes, because they unduly complicate the game balance of what’s already a high-powered variant. Because it’s possible for gestalt characters to qualify for prestige classes earlier than normal, the game master is entirely justified in toughening the prerequisites of a prestige class so it's available only after 5th level, even for gestalt characters. Since I'm playing a rogue anyway the wiz / rog class combo shouldn't be a big issue; but the DM is leery. I may lose the sneak attack progression on the AT side and have it replaced with one general feat for every +2d6 lost. Not sure yet. Race is not set yet, but dragonwrought desert kobold is not an option. It must be a PHB race or relatively similiar - gray elf, whisper gnome, etc. [/QUOTE]
