[QUOTE="Dog Moon, post: 2705950, member: 23023"] Depending on what classes, however, and combinations the character does, a Gestalt character can be quite powerful. It does allow for an even greater potential for min-maxing and can be quite frightening. But yeah, the biggest mistake the DM can make is thinking that Gestalt = uber. There were two of us, both Gestalt, the last campaign and it's got to be a pain in the butt how many times we died. The DM seemed to feel that he could throw anything at us. How he didn't realize after we each died five times that something was wrong, I have no idea, but that's a different matter. Generally, from what I've noticed for my group, Gestalt is more about being able to have more options of what you want to do, and an increase in survivability [not necessarily in combat] because you gain more abilities to add to your character. Knowing basically nothing about Eberron, however, I don't have anything to add on that portion. [/QUOTE]
