[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 5234842, member: 3424"] I wonder why this thread is tagged "Humor". :uhoh: But anyway... in 3e D&D, one of the variant rules allowed for "gestalt" characters which were essentially characters with two classes. The character would have the class abilities (including class skills and proficiencies) of the two classes, and the better BAB, saving throw progression, skill points, and hit points of the two classes. It was essentially a way to get back characters similar to those you could obtain with 1e and 2e style demihuman multiclassing, or a way to run campaigns for small numbers of players who would find the added breadth of character abilities to be useful, or a way to run "themed" campaigns, e.g. a "wandering minstrels" campaign where every PC gestalts as a bard. Gestalt characters are obviously more powerful than normal characters with only one class, so if you are concerned about balance between the PCs, gestalt PCs should only adventure with other gestalt PCs in gestalt campaigns.
