Known Issues
  • Favored Class Bonuses: Gestalt's Favored Class Bonuses will only be based upon the first two classes chosen. If you later choose a third (or forth, etc) class bonuses for your race from those classes will not be present in the Gestalt Favored Class Bonus chooser. Personally, I recommend NOT using the Gestalt Favored Class Bonus chooser and actually selecting one of your chosen classes as your favored class.
  • Some favored class bonuses don't work properly when selected as Gestalt favored class bonuses. These are typically ones that have configuration options like Human Sorcerer. Again, select the actual class for your favored class instead of Gestalt for these to work properly.
  • Combinations that have the same feature do not stack properly. One example of this is Sneak Attack. Hero Lab calculates your sneak attack bonus by counting how many instances of the Sneak Attack pick are present on the hero. If you choose two classes that get this feature, Gestalt should give the better progression but Hero Lab is stacking them together resulting in significantly inflated values. Use adjustments to bring these handful of improperly stacking features back to appropriate values.
  • Selecting 'Non-Player Character' on the Configure Your Hero screen causes some things not to calculate properly (most notably HP). If you want a Gestalt NPC, choose 'Hero' regardless if the character is a NPC.
  • The Gestalt HDSides which displays next to the HP value on the Classes tab will only display for the last level of selected classes. This allows users not using Max HP or Avg HP options to know the maximum for the latest selected classes. If using Max HP or Avg HP options, the previous levels will still have the correct HP, but the HDSides will only show for the latest selected classes.
  • If using the optional Attribute Bonus rules, the first 2 ability bonuses received at level 4 will display as Level 4 and Level 8. This is a display only issue and is hard coded by Hero Lab. At level 8 you will still receive 2 more ability bonuses (which will display as Level 12 and Level 16). This is a display only issue, but functions properly.
