Multiclass feat question

Can you take more than one multiclass feat for the same class? For instance, can you take both Pact Initiate and Student of Malediction (one gives a pact and a pact at-will, the other gives warlock's curse 1/encounter)?

Don't see why not if you meet the prereqs. The only restrictions apart from prereqs are that you can't multiclass in a third class.

The restriction is that you can't take a class specific feat for ANOTHER class, so I don't see why you couldn't take two Warlock multiclass feats.

I can see two arguments:

1. Once you select a class-specific multiclass feat, you count as a member of that class for the purpose of meeting prerequisites for taking other feats. Since you cannot take a multiclass feat for your own class, that means you can't take a second class-specific multiclass feat for the same class.

2a. On the other hand, both Martial Power and Arcane Power have class-specific multiclass feats that have another class-specific multiclass feat and paragon multiclassing in the same class as prerequisites.

2b. Plus, the character builder says you can.

On balance, I favor option 2.

Assuming a Bard (of course) sure you can.

Nothing prevents it.

"Once you select a class-specific multiclass feat, you count as a member of that class for the purpose of meeting prerequisites for taking other feats."

This is a true statement, but note that taking a second Warlord multiclass feat does not have a prerequisite needing a class, so no problem.

Basically, "...you count as a member of that class..." can only work in your favor.

Yes, there can be more than one right answer to a rules question! It can be an exercise in futility to attempt to apply a great deal of precision to an imprecise set of rules.
