07-22-06, 06:01 PM I know the chances are good that this thread will flounder and sink to the abyss, but just in case, I thought I'd post it and give it a try.

What I'd love to see here is a thread packed full of example gestalt npc's.

Why? Well, I plan to start a gestalt game in the near future, and I'm gonna need them!

See, in a normal game I am so used to regular classes that I can pretty much whip up a batch of baddies on the spot if I have to. Say if i want the PC's to be attacked by a gang of mid-level rogues, I have a pretty good idea of the abilities/feats/special abilities of those rogues. However, I'm not nearly well versed enough in gestalt to know what a group of sorcerer/rogues look like and what they can do, and what synergises well with what.

It would be so cool to have a resource for NPC's that I (and others) could come to for gestalt NPC stat blocks.

Anything and everything would be much appriciated. All levels, all classes. Though I'm thinking a standard 32 point buy would be a good base for everyone.

Please be as detailed as you like. I'll take anything. If you wish to include things like name, history, background, etc, go for it! But even basic stat blocks would be an invaluable help!

07-26-06, 06:24 PM I'm horrible at flavor, but here are two blocks for a gestalt bard/lurk.
The character was originaly built for a Darksun game using that variant bard; they are all obvious assassins and spys in the style of James Bond. I've switched it to the PHB bard so it can actualy see some use here.
He should make an excelent diplomat/spy for any campaign.
The garrote used can be found from Athas.org, which is used as his signature move.

07-28-06, 12:55 PM Well, you could always start compiling and just start writing like crazy. Another thing you could do if you need a bit of less variation is to get similar classes (IE: Fighter and Ultimate fighter from Szanty, or something else) and just gestalt those. Would make them closer to their basic area. However, I usually just run like the wind, and just start going like crazy in a (hypothetical situation). Also, Saving things you've created before is your friend, don't waste anything that you've made from a past game. Reuse, reuse, reuse.

EDIT: I also use a 'variant rule' (I'm too lazy to see if this is infact, "THE RULE," But I use it anyways to great effect) for animals and creatures with Race HD and/or LA. Simply, you just "Clump" both the Racial Levels and the LA into a single level for each pair. Pairs of LA become a single Gestalt Level, pairs of RHD become a single level. It's gives more room to allow the animals to have, and yet keeps the consistancy. Depending on how lax you are, single RHD/LA just take up half a G-level, but you can either add the other half of the level when you want, or that it has to be with an LA/RHD. I usually allow other levels to be able to get into there, and I don't mind when they add that other half of a G-Level, except if the situation isn't a good time.

Pz.Az.04Maus 07-28-06, 12:55 PM	Well, you could always start compiling and just start writing like crazy. Another thing you could do if you need a bit of less variation is to get similar classes (IE: Fighter and Ultimate fighter from Szanty, or something else) and just gestalt those. Would make them closer to their basic area. However, I usually just run like the wind, and just start going like crazy in a (hypothetical situation). Also, Saving things you've created before is your friend, don't waste anything that you've made from a past game. Reuse, reuse, reuse. EDIT: I also use a 'variant rule' (I'm too lazy to see if this is infact, "THE RULE," But I use it anyways to great effect) for animals and creatures with Race HD and/or LA. Simply, you just "Clump" both the Racial Levels and the LA into a single level for each pair. Pairs of LA become a single Gestalt Level, pairs of RHD become a single level. It's gives more room to allow the animals to have, and yet keeps the consistancy. Depending on how lax you are, single RHD/LA just take up half a G-level, but you can either add the other half of the level when you want, or that it has to be with an LA/RHD. I usually allow other levels to be able to get into there, and I don't mind when they add that other half of a G-Level, except if the situation isn't a good time.
