At lower, levels gestalt characters are not significantly more powerful, because the limited actions a character can take in a round.At higher levels, gestalts become much more powerful because of the ability to gain extra actions.If you start the gestalt characters at high level, be prepared for some completely optimized characters. I had a Half-giant psychic warrior/scout that could easily average 90 points of damage off of a single attack and could hit for up to three hundred on a non-critical charge and pounce.The thing to keep in mind at higher level starting points is, you have two classes but you get the same starting wealth as a character with only one class, which means it is harder to maximize the equipment for both classes with the limited resources.As a DM, I like gestalt cause it lets me throw creatures at my group of two players that I would normally not make them attempt to fight.All in all, I love to DM gestalt groups and I love to play in them as well.</blockquote>
