06-08-06, 05:50 PM In the dual DM Gestalt game I am playing, the other player is playing an Invisible Blade character, which according to him is nasty enough without making him Gestalt. I am just here asking a question to verify if he is correct in what he can accomplish. I have looked at all the abilities, and it does seem like it should work, but it also seems broken. Basically, he says that he can bluff as a free action, and use his bluff skill with his dagger to get a sneak attack. He says since it is a free action, he can perform a new bluff attempt with each attack he has in a turn, and he dual weilds daggers. So basically, since his bluff is high enough, he can get a sneak attack, with every attack he makes each turn. I would think it would be limited to his first attack, and the rest would be regular attacks. What do you all think. The big thing Gestalting does BTW, is allow him have many sneak attack dice, which he can now use whenever he attacks.

06-09-06, 10:26 PM Whupass is right. Go by Complete Warrior and you'll be fine.

However, don't forget: it's up to the DM on how many free actions can be performed in a round. If it were me, I'd rule out the "Every attack can be a Sneak Attack" thing... or I'd give all of the NPCs insanely high Sense Motive mods to counter it.

It makes it a free action usable once per round. Therefore, you can use it and a Swift action in the same round.
