Bleach D20 variant rule suggestion thread

[The Dire Reverend]

I have written up two rules for variant rules inside of a Bleach D20 game. They can be found here.

If your game uses Player Handbook 2’s retraining rules:

You cannot take the Refined Technique feat. When gaining a level, you can switch out two Shikai Abilities each level or one Bankai Ability (this counts as your retraining option for that level). Like retraining any other class feature, you cannot change a Shikai or Bankai ability that is a prerequisite to a different Shikai or Bankai ability (for example, if you have Weapon of Heaven and Godslayer’s Edge, you cannot change Weapon of Heaven for a different Shikai ability, unless you change Godslayer’s Edge first)


If your game uses Unearthed Arcana’s Gestalt rules:

Choose 1 base Bleach D20 class for one side of your Gestalt. For this side of your Gestalt, you can only advance in your chosen Bleach D20 class. On your other side of your gestalt, you can choose any regular Dungeons and Dragons class, as well as any Bleach D20 class that is not a Shinigami or Hollow class. For the second half of your gestalt, you can multiclass normally. You still gain Bleach D20 Prestige Classes like templates, added on top of your Bleach D20 class; however, even if you choose a BleachD20 class on both sides of your gestalt, you can only take one Bleach D20 Prestige Class each level.

Feel free to let us know your favorite variant rules, and also how you think they should differ while inside a Bleach D20 game.
