[QUOTE="Bendris Noulg, post: 1547212, member: 6398"] Well, yeah. You'll note that I don't limit any of the above to one class. For instance, in the political/intrigue campaign, the choice would be [i]between[/i] Noble or Courtier (while I'd also add to the list any other Base Class that was suitable to the arena of aristocrats and the upper class). This would ensure that the PCs have those abilities that are aimed at that environment (by way of Class Features) or they'd find themselves (politically) upstaged by the NPCs that do. (For those that don't know, AEG's Courtier Class isn't a potent adventuring class, but I wouldn't want to get into politics without gaining levels as one [i]quickly[/i].) Which would be the "safety net" I'm talking about; by giving one of the Classes a direction (political, skilled, arcane, divine, whatever), you're also placing some limits on how far Gestalts can be taken. While it certainly doesn't ditch [i]every[/i] possible combination, it certainly assists the GM in narrowing down what to look for. (Consequently, is it just me, or does Gestalt give anyone else an "Amberish" or even a "Dunish" feeling?) Hey, you should have me figured out by now; I try to put this kind of spin on [i]everything[/i] I use.;) [/QUOTE]
