The retrofitted classes exist for those who don’t want the added roleplay of the lucky power sources, but still want the simplified mechanics. The complexity of hybrids and multiclassing is antithetical to that design goal. However, for those who want a hybrid or multiclass version of these retrofitted classes, it would not be hard to apply the same retrofitting guidelines given for the lucky class to its hybrid version and multiclass feats. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">When hybridizing with a class from a non-lucky power source, a minor boost is treated as if it were an encounter attack power, a major boost is treated as if it were a daily attack power, and a flourish is treated as if it were a utility power for purposes of choosing powers at each level of play. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">The hybrid versions of lucky classes do not receive any of the features listed in the class features Buffoonish Advancement, Jinx Advancement, Mascot Advancement, or Savant Advancement. Rather, hybrid classes may take Paragon Paths and Epic Destinies for which they qualify, even if the character combines hybrid versions of two lucky classes. Please note that hybrid lucky classes can never have more than four minor boosts and four major boosts.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">Unlike other lucky classes, hybrid lucky classes do not have preselected feats. Rather, they choose feats as normal, and may only choose feats for which they are qualified. There are no feats made specifically for the lucky power source, so feats will either be generic, or related to the hybrid class with which the lucky class is combined.</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 26px"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">Hybrids</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><strong>HYBRID BUFFOON</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><strong>Class Traits</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><strong>Role</strong>: Striker. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><strong>Power Source</strong>: Luck. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><strong>Key Abilities</strong>: Charisma, Dexterity.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><strong>Armor Proficiencies</strong>: Cloth, leather, hide; light shields.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><strong>Weapon Proficiencies</strong>: Simple melee, military melee, simple ranged, military ranged.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><strong>Bonus to Defense</strong>: +2 to Fortitude</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><strong>Hit Points at 1st Level</strong>: 7+ Constitution Score. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><strong>Hit Points per Level Gained</strong>: 3</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><strong>Healing Surges per Day</strong>: 3.5</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><strong>Class Skills</strong>: Acrobatics (Dex), Stealth (Dex), Thievery (Dex).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><strong>Class features</strong>: None</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'"><strong>Suggested Combinations</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">Hybrid buffoons combine well with other classes that use Charisma and Dexterity, particularly strikers.

A character who chooses a lucky class as a paragon multiclass gains the following benefits: [B]At-Will[/B]: At 11th level, you lose the use of one of your class’ at-will powers. You gain the use of all the luck class’ at-will powers. (Most lucky classes have only one at-will.) [B]Encounter[/B]: At 11th level, you gain another minor boost. [B]Utility[/B]: At 12th level, you learn a flourish from your paragon multiclass. [B]Daily[/B]: At 20th level, you gain another daily boost. Well, that’s all folks. I hope you find the lucky power source as much fun to play as it was for me to design. Please let me know if you use these classes and how well they play. Thanks for reading![/FONT] [/QUOTE]
