If you come upon material wealth, it's yours. If that ends up being a lot, so be it. Sometimes, a DM might more indirectly manage things, say by throwing you against a bunch of monsters with no treasure for a while. I'm not a huge fan of that, really. Still metagaming.Gestalt doesn't have anything to say about wealth, so by default you'd still be looking at it in terms of your character level. However, you're right that it's really appropriate to look at it in terms of increased power level , which could reflect your gestalt-ness, your starting ability scores, or other considerations.I generally start PCs off at triple the book value for wealth and they trend upwards from there, as well as having higher ability scores and more epic-ness in general. My DMG hasn't burned to a crisp or anything.</blockquote>
