02-24-04, 07:11 AM There are already a lot of gestalt threads for this, just so you know.

The book specifically says that no gestalt is really two times as powerful as a regular character.

And no two gestalts are really the same in power. I listed one time the example of fighter/barbarian. If we treat it like a barbarian, all they get better is eleven bonus feats by the level 20.

If we take a fighter, cleric; much bigger picture. Let's treat it like a cleric. Suddenly their BaB, skills, feats, and hit points improve.

See? It's just hard as hell to give a static, flat modifier to every gestalt in the game. Some of my favorite combinations are wizard/cleric, fighter/cleric, and monk/sorcerer.

I know, but I couldn't find one about CR.

Ok, thanks. What do you think a rogue10/Ninja of the crescent moon12|ranger20/monk2 would be? And a fighter12/kensai10|Wu jen 22?
