You can get some obscenely powerful characters in gestalt (barbarian with the Lion Totem alt class feature from Complete Champion gestalted with Druid gets brutal really, really fast, for example; dual casters can also be pretty sick since you'll never, ever drain them of spells), but usually you can see them coming a mile away.That specific "Features accrue at the rate of the fastest class" rule is the key to solving a lot of perceived Gestalt balance issues, by the way. Apply it liberally and literally and you won't have many problems. For example, for the longest time on the WotC Character Optimization boards people would tell you that you could do something like Fighter 1/Cleric X//Druid X+1 and end up with full BAB because if you just look at the charts, there wouldn't be a level where neither Cleric nor Druid gained a BAB. That doesn't work, because of the "accrue at the rate of the fastest class" rule. Both Clerics and Druids are medium BAB. A Cleric//Druid gestalt cannot exceed medium BAB, no matter how you arrange the class levels.</blockquote>
