[QUOTE="thorimar, post: 4198600, member: 11308"] I'm looking at creating a gestalt character for one of the players in my group, likely to be a Wizard/Psion, based on a previous character concept. I'm looking to start the campaign around 15th level and likely terminate at or abover 30th lvl. Huzzah! What I need to know is this: how well do Gestalt characters balance against "core" classes, with core being anything 3.x, WOTC or other major publishers. I'm not looking for a re-hash of the rules abot making a gestalt character. What I want is practical, in game commentary from players or DM's who have mixed gestalt and "straight" classes in a single party. Should there be an evffective LA for the gestalt character? And what does it need to be? Any advice would be appreciated. My other idea to create this character is to create a sub-race of elf and give it SU or EX abilities as it advances in level, then let him pick a single class to play. This idea is not likely to work well, so I was trying to use the rule set to come up with something better. thorimar [/QUOTE]
