Ultimate Gestalt

I have an idea for a new campaign based loosely off that Jet Li movie "The One". Basic idea is that the characters are people from the year 2014 on our Earth. This group of gamers are chosen to save their world and others because of familiarity (thru role-playing) with varied genres. A powerful being destroys the characters alternates within two other dimensions to give them greater power. Now they need to adventure the cosmos discovering thirteen stones of power to realign some cosmic imbalance (still working out the campaign idea though)

What this means for the campaign

Character Creation Rules

Gestalt Character Creation

Think of character creation as creating two character using the rules below. Each "side" of the Gestalt Character is separate (ex. a +1 to SpellCasting on one side will not increase the other side). One side is Arcana Evolved and the other is normal DnD (Eberron, FR or any players choice).

Starting Stats- 16, 16, 14, 14, 12, 12 (Improved because of the combination of identities)
Gain stat increase at each even numbered level (2, 4, 6, etc.)

Race- Choose Arcana Evolved one if you want any Evolved levels...otherwise you can choose standard DnD ones...(no level Adjustments ones though)

HD- Best of the two (Max HP first level)

Skills- Best of the two...use Arcana Evolved skill list though

BaB- Best of the two

Saves- Best of the two

Feats- Start with two and gain an additional feat every level. (Bonus feats from classes need to be selected from that systems feat list)

Magic- Keep magic systems separate. Metamagic for usual DnD and Spell Templates for Arcana Evolved.

Languages- Characters must choose three languages (one from each world) before selecting others...

Some ideas

Tank- 3 Giant /3 evolved Giant | 6 Fighter (very easy to make)

Mobile Artillery- 6 Magister | 6 Wizard (At least three hours creation time...but well worth it)

Ultimate Assassin- 3 Litorian/3 Evolved Litorian | 6 Ninja

Mentalist- 1 Magister/5 Evolved Intelligence | 6 Psion

Notes-

Sneak Attack does not stack from the two sides

Try not to create deliberate combinations between the two classes...
