[QUOTE="Viktyr Gehrig, post: 1659701, member: 9249"] My concern isn't so much the raw number of feats, as it is the overlapping feat lists-- allowing Ftr/PsW would allow them to take almost the entire Fighter bonus feat list. While Gestalt characters are overall more powerful than standard characters, this combination, I feel, would be unbalancing, as several of those feats can be used in conjunction. By comparison, a Sor/Wiz, while being able to cast spells all day, is still limited by their inability to cast more than one or two spells in a single round. It is. And, I have considered allowing it, but in the context of my current campaign (which involves two concurrent games, one of which uses d20 Modern rules), it'd allow the Ftr/PsW to have more feats than any possible d20 Modern character-- and their current slight edge in feats is one of the few advantages that the Modern characters have. In a standalone D&D campaign, I would be more inclined to allow the combination, especially given that the Ftr/PsW gives up several benefits of the Gestalt system since most of their other abilities overlap. Well, if you're doing away with Favored Classes, it would likewise make sense to not use my Favored Gestalt rules. Like Favored Class, they're designed mainly to help reinforce racial stereotypes, while allowing characters to step outside of them if they so prefer. [/QUOTE]
