Are weapon mastery feats intended to be *class-specific* multiclass feats?

[QUOTE="Seule, post: 4697637, member: 407"] It appears that you can freely take a weapon-multiclass feat after taking a class-specific multiclass feat, but not the other way round (only you take a multiclass feat of any kind, you can no longer take class-specific multiclass feats for another class, and while weapon-multiclass aren't class specific, they are certainly not the same class as any other class-specific feat). Scenario 1: Take weapon-multiclass feat first, you can no longer take class specific multiclass feats for any other class, and any class-specific multiclass is by default not the same class. Scenario 2: Take class-specific feat first, you can still take a weapon multiclass, because it's not class-specific to a different class. However, that's the literal and close reading. You could argue that you can indeed take the feats either way round, and it's certainly by the wording fine to take multiple weapon-multiclass feats. Essentially, by a literal reading, the multiclass-designation does very little. This is silly, and plainly not the intent. It's pretty obvious to me that the intent is that weapon-multiclass feats are a pseudo-class, one for each weapon, and as such you are restricted from taking more than one different weapon multiclass, or a weapon and an actual class multiclass. That's the only way it makes any sense. It's also what I'm going with at my tables. Unlike 3.5e, 4e shouldn't be hung up on the details of wording if it plainly contradicts the intent. Until it's clarified one way or the other, my Rogue who is taking Spiked Chain multiclass won't be looking at any other type of multiclass feat. Pity, spellscarring looked cool. Edit: Nowhere does it say that a Bard multiclassing to, say, Fighter, becomes a Martial character. It's a reasonable assumption, but not spelled out anywhere I can find. --Penn [/QUOTE]
