[QUOTE="Creeping Death, post: 4586377, member: 253"] You are still limited by the number of actions you can take in a single round. So you want to take classes that enhance each other for free. For example, fighter/rogue you get all the benefits of a fighter (full BAB, extra feats, higher HP) and the advantages of a rogue (reflex save, sneak attack, skill points). You still get upto 4 attacks with a full attack option but now do sneak attack damage in addition to having weapon specialization, greater weapon .... etc. Another one would be Fighter/Barbarian. Full fighter abilities and can rage, take the frenzied berserker prestige class. While the psion/mage sounds cool (well, it does to me) and they both share INT you still can only cast 1 spell or manifest 1 power a round. You are still limited by the number of actions per round. You do become more versatile. If you really like wizards then go fighter/wizard, use the fighter class to get access to martial weapons, higher HP, more feats (can only be used for for fighter approved feats but you should be able to pick out ones that will help your overall character), better fort save, then just act like a mage. Stay in the back, cast your spells, knowing full well that you will on average have twice the number of hitpoints that a non-gestalt mage will have. Psy-warrior/fighter for the most feats though (I think the feats stack since they get them at different rates... going off of memory here please correct me if I'm wrong.) [/QUOTE]
