I was unaware of the HD and XP double penalty. <br /><br />In 3e, the XP tables were unified. A "gestalt" was a character with all the best skills and abilities of two classes- used in campaigns where all characters were so constructed. <br /><br />The F/M is such a hard one because a magic user is an investment, whereas a fighter is a scratch ticket. In a perfect world they cover each others' weaknesses. <br /><br />My suggestion is to make them like the BEMCI elf. They get good fighter abilities and good magic user abilities, at the penalty of an insane XP table, moderate hit die and a hard level cap (this last might be negotiable.)Scott Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067161332003628237noreply@blogger.com
