[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 2761065, member: 2020"] I'm guessing - just guessing here - that Gestalt makes the game far more entertaining, more fun, for play at low levels (1st through 5th). The players have more choices, more rules to use, more food for thought. Their characters can, simply put, do more. Considering that a great majority of the games played involve 5th level or less, that really means something, if true. Am I right? What does WOTC think? What do you think? Many of you are using the Gestalt rules, apparently. As for me, I'm just trying to figure out how a person can cram 20 years of weapons practice and 20 years of magical studies into a mere actual 20 years (but then again, I grew up in the 1st and 2nd edition worlds ...) I saw the barbarian/mage variant. THAT one really brought a laugh (remember how the Unearthed Arcana 1st edition barbarians thought of wizards? :D ) But that would be one tough character (the barbarian/witches of Rashemen ...)
