Alright. I'm kind of a Newbie DM. I've run... something... in the past, and I couldn't keep it together because of conflicts, and I eventually joined another group that played with Gestalt rules, which I thought was kinda cool.
fast forward a semester. I found a small group that was able to show up at the same time (more or less) and I decided, foolishly, to try and run a gestalt game with the point buy system.
Everyone was instantly dissatisfied with their characters, which was an instant source of frustration to everyone, so I allowed them to recreate characters.
So here's the thing that confused me about Templates. There's someone who's playing a Half Celestial Paladin/Cleric... I don't know the levels at the top of my head right now... But when he created the character, we covered the +4 lvl adjustment, so he's "four levels behind" everyone else.
However the crux of the conflict is this. He has Skill points up the wazoo, and I'm thinking that you only get them for that first lvl and then take class lvl skill progression.
Also, does he gain new abilities from his class hit die as racial stuff? IE, according to the template information, he gets Holy Smite and Remove Disease as Supernatural Abilities. Does that mean he gets it when he reaches 7 Paladin/7 Cleric (or whatever his lvls are)?
Thanks for the help, guys!
