Here's a few ideas; 1) Racial Paragon classes: One could say that all adventures are paragons for their race, so what if they automatically got these levels as a Gestalt class at 5th, 10th & 15th levels? 2) Template clases: The WoC website has had series of Templates as classes and these could be Gestalted to regular classes. 3) In an old adventure I played a Thief, he touched a gem that contained the soul of a Wizard. After a battle between the two for the control of his mind, my thief won, but what if the knowledge of the Sorcerer remained and he could Gestalt for as many levels as she had? 4) In the Ravenloft domain of Forlorn, anyone with Red hair can gain Druidic magic. The 3.0 version uses feats, but maybe a gestalt might also work. 5) Possession by a ghost might leave residual memories as well allowing for a limited Gestalt with the ghost's class. 6) In Legend of the 5 Rings, you may be aided by your Ancestral Spirits. When active, the spirit might act as a gestalt class. 7) Ancient civilizations like Atlantis or Nethrill might be represented by Gestalt classes, as could any civilization that is high magic or psionic. For example, in Dark Sun, what if anyone could gestalt with a Psionic class? 8) Being blessed by a god might grant a Gestalt with Cleric, Paladin or a class that is favored by that god for a single level.
