Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wrahn" data-source="post: 2785630" data-attributes="member: 9191">Base vanilla classes aren't balanced, a 30th level Wizard is so incredibly more powerful than a 30th level rogue the comparison is laughable.  Prestige Classes begin to balance that, but, really, not by half.A truly epic game allows one enough flexibility to create characters that I don't think going to the gestalt rules is necessary.  Gestalt is best used when you have many bases to cover and not enough people to cover them, by the degree of interest here, I would say we would have the opposite problem.Also about the Epic Spellcasting, again, I agree, it can be useful with a GM that is willing to take a look at what is being made and saying no for balance sake, but I come from a background of believing that the Hero System is the best system out there, which is like Epic Spellcasting on steriods.</blockquote>
