A gestalt paragon is a hardened and established adventurer, so skilled that they are known for their exceptional abilities as masters of their craft. Rather than focus on developing a new broad range of skills, a gestalt paragon hopes to hone and focus the strength of their established skills but cannot help but pick up minor tricks that they have witnessed from other adventurers.
Role: This class is designed for characters that want to advance in additional levels without the added baggage and fluff of role specific classes.
