Dear forum readers,
As the name of the topic suggests I would like to get some imput of players/DM's more experienced than myself about this subject. First some background: I was in the way of planning a campaing for some friends of mine when halfway through the idea of a gestald campaign was mentioned. This interested me, for I was planning a campaign where magic would be rather commen but still keep them at a low level (3 to start). Other than that, I enjoy coming up with interresting villains, fights and traps so this would give me a lot more to play with.
So my question would be the following: What are your thoughts on a gestald monster (as enemy) with class levels as well as monster hitdice (one in each track, respectively). Would it be unballanced? Would it be pointless? Should I restrict to baseclasses? Should I not bother at all?
Any idea's and discussion is greatly appreciated :)
