Lately, I've been looking at the D&D 3.5 gestalt system. I look at all these different combinations, and I think: Can't you just beef up a certain class? So, with your help, I was thinking of undertaking this task, but I am very new here. I know not the use of these nice fancy tables that make life so much easier. Any assistance would be nice, and hopefully could be placed in this thread. This is probably going to be a base before I get going.
Most of the ideas I'm looking at for gestalt replacements are beefs or selective mergings of several classes. Merges and beefs include:
Barbarian/druid/ranger - Master of the Wilderness
Super Monk (name yet to be thought of)
Barbarian/Fighter... sorta - Heavy Weapons Master
Ranger/Fighter - Expert Archer
Fighter/unknown - Dual-Wielding Master
Fighter - Shield Master
Just some ideas. If you haven't guessed, I'm more of a combat player. But beefs and tweaks aren't the only things I've been thinking of. Entirely new classes like the Psychotic Maniac would tickle my proverbial whiskers to make, so I'll start drafting up some ideas in a few days, try some self-balancing against some monsters...
