PCO.Spvnky:
Each character gets two classes and takes the "best of both worlds" every time they advance a level.
That's way they call it also
Hannah Montana.
Varsovian:
What's the difference between this and normal multiclassing, then?
At first level you can have only one class
normally.
You can't be at the same time a Rogue and a Cleric.
If you start as a Cleric, at 1000 XP you can choose if become Clr2 or Clr1/Rog1.
If you use the
Gestalt option, you can fuse two classes.
So, a first level Gestalt Rogue/Cleric character:
- rolls his HPs with a d8 like a Cleric (a Cleric's d8 better than a Rogue's d6)
- gets a +2 on Will and Fortitude like a Cleric and +2 on Reflex like a Rogue (so he has +2/+2/+2 on his Saving Throws)
- has (8+INT)x4 skill points to distribute (a Rogue's 8+INT better than a Cleric's 2+INT)
- has a medium Base Attack Bonus (no difference between Rogue and Cleric)
- his class skills are taken from both Cleric and Rogue class
- has the class features of a 1st level Cleric
- has the class feature of a 1st level Cleric
- has Armor Proficiency like a Cleric (better than Rogue)
- has Weapon Proficiency in Simple Weapons plus the Rogue's weapons (like a rapier, sap, etc.)
This becomes your core class.
That means a 7th level Gestalt Rogue/Cleric will have Sneak attack +4d6, access to 4th level Clerical Spells, +5/+5/+5 on Saving Throws, 7d8 HDs, (8+INT)x10 skill points and so on.
