Favored Class and Multiclassing in Gestalt


Rules Questions


Favored Class:
- do you get both of your favored class bonuses? since a gestalt is a ClassA-ClassB working as one class, does it count as one class?

Multiclassing:
- say I initially want to go Sorcerer-Paladin, can I then later multiclass into Dragon Disciple? If yes, how does that work?


I'm about 95% sure on the first answer which is: You only get one favored class bonus.

The second answer I'm completely sure on.

A gestalt character can’t combine two prestige classes at any level, although it’s okay to combine a prestige class and a regular class. Prestige classes that are essentially class combinations-such as the arcane trickster, mystic theurge, and eldritch knight-should be prohibited if you’re using gestalt classes, because they unduly complicate the game balance of what’s already a high-powered variant. Because it’s possible for gestalt characters to qualify for prestige classes earlier than normal, the game master is entirely justified in toughening the prerequisites of a prestige class so it’s available only after 5th level, even for gestalt characters.

...

Aren't the gestalt rules from 3.5 where there were no favored class bonuses, meaning that the GM or whoever was homebrewing the conversion would need to decide for themselves how favored class bonuses are getting handled?
