It also depends on the restrictions (or benefits of the prestige classes).I think one of us is confusing how gestalt works.Each level is a "new" class that combines the features (and restrictions) of the two composites.It is not a fighter 3 and paladin 3, it is a fighter/paladin 3.Now they break it down to be fighter 3/paladin 3 for ease of bookkeeping - but by pretty much every definition each level of gestalt is a level of a hybrid class. Think of it it terms that a 3rd level paladin/fighter gestalt is not a 6th level character - it has only 3 hit dice and those are the levels that count towards level based feats and ability score adjustments, etc.Now if I am misreading the requirement that:"Class and ability based restrictions (such as arcane spell failure chance and a druid's prohibition on wearing metal armor) apply normally to a gestalt character, no matter what the other class is."  In that the paladin's and monks alignment and multiclass restrictions are not class based restrictions then by basis is faulty.</blockquote>
