Greetings and salutations one and all. I've come to this board seeking advice for a situation thats gotten a bit.. tricksy. Let me provide you with some background. When I decided to run the AP, i first ran a few smaller 1st lvl adventures for my players to besome aquainted with their pcs and how each of them worked. At this point I was running everything as normal. Shortly thereafter I lost two of my players and was down to a paladin and a rogue. Since I didn't want to stop playing, but realized my players would have a tough time with it, i decided to switch to the Gestalt system detailed in Unearthed Arcana. I follwed it's advice and gestalted every major npc and villain but shied off gestalting any monster hit dice. Since then I've picked up 3 more regulars and now have a party with the right tool for most any job. My players will be facing Adimarchus, and i need some opinions. Should I gestalt him? I realize his CR will be higher than the parties, but i don't want to underpower him. 30 hd worth of sorceror, fighter or cleric abilities could make a incredable difference in this battle.
