05-10-04, 10:41 PM If you use both variants, Gestalts and Weapon Groups, how do you handle the number of starting weapon proficiencies characters have?

A fighter//paladin for example gets 4 or 7 weapon groups?

I'm asking since if you don't use the weapon group variant, a gestalt fighter/rogue would get the EWP in Hand Crossbow even though only the rogue has it and the fighter's weap prof. list is better.

05-10-04, 11:23 PM you would still only get the 4 groups IMO, because ti is the better selection. when using wepaon groups, you loose out on some of the automatic proficiencies in exchange for being able to choose.

05-11-04, 05:59 AM I'd agree with four.

I'd say the same thing in non-gestault too for multiclassing.

IE:
Fighter becomes fighter-rogue: No new proficiencies.
Rogue becomes fighter-rogue: Gains two groups.
