03-01-04, 06:48 PM Im playing a gestalt game
i have 2 players at level 30 (60 total class levels)
they are also vampires with an ECL of 36
(home brew vampire ecl 6 not 8)
Now i understand that you dont get HD BAB Saves Feats Skills Ect.. with LA
but considering the game is gestalt i feel that paying 6 levels for a templete hurts them much more then if it was a normal game
i think a 36th level character is stronger then a 30th level character with a LA of 6
because of the 2 class per level thing

Now i could let them take one class instead of 2 for those 6 levels
but then i feel it would be unbalanced
considering they will get all the bab ect
its a small price to pay for a templete

im very confused and un sure how to balance it
i searched through UA and i couldnt find any rules for this
it would be great if i can get some advice and help with this

03-02-04, 12:01 AM Divide the abilities of the Vampire class over several leves, and have each 'level' grant some new powers, or improve previously gained powers of the template.

IMC, i have a half-celestial char. His ECL is +3, but i made him gain his template as levels.
