CR of gestalts?


Homebrew and House Rules


I'm planning on running a conversion of something from a non-level based RPG and depending on what gets hit at what level some of the NPCs will be best constructed as gestalts. Does anyone who uses gestalts have advice for how they effect functional APL or CR?

About +1 or +2 CR, I would say; that's about how much you have to raise encounter levels for a gestalt party.

Here is a link that will help you:

For my personal experience: +1 or +2, if its a monster based on saves like poison, petrification and stuff like that, definitly +2. The worst thing to do is a game with just encounters. But when you do, you can put a lot of them, since your casters got a lot more spells, or you simply have more casters.
