[QUOTE="jeffhartsell, post: 2714253, member: 7748"] Gestalt is awesome. We've been in a campaign for about 18 months from level 1 to 16 so far and it is way more fun IMO (we've played DnD together for 10+ years). We'd had 3-5 players over the course of the campaign and have 4 currently. We've got a cleric/paladin16, monk/ftr13 + monk/rogue3, clr/sorc4 + monk/sorc12, and me the ftr/rogue2 + barb/monk13 + barb/rogue1. We have house rules that neither barbarian or monk have to be chaotic or lawful. Long story short, we are tougher than non-gestalt because we've got better saves, better hit points, better BAB (and 28-point buy), but we are only 4 characters. Having two classes does not double our actions. We can fight EL+2 fairly easily especially if fighting a large group of even or lower level CR. But fighting higher level CR mobs is still tough. At level 13 we got in a fight with a Marilith (CR17) and 2 Hezrou (CR11) and could not take them (we killed one hezrou). We had to bail and could have been wiped out if we had not gotten lucky, we were not expecting something that tough and did not have the spells handy we needed by the time we fought them. [/QUOTE]
