Essentials multiclassing playtest?

[Wednesday Boy]

For me, the literally wildest combination is the beastmaster ranger and sentinel druid. Talk about having 2 animal companions, plus if you have the animal master theme, 3 animals!!!! WOOOT!

Then multiclass with Shaman to add a Spirit Companion to the mix!!!

The hybrid vampire is one of those cases where the hybrid is going to more than likely be flat out better than the original class.

True. The only negative for me is that the hybridizing requirement of balancing your powers between both hybrid classes could keep some vampire themes out of your reach. (Although if you were a vryloka you could probably make up for that with their replacement racial utility powers.)

Since it's a playtest, it's important for all of us to remember to send in all this info to WotC themselves, and not just cheer or rail against it here. There's still time for many of these issues to be addressed... let's just not assume that they will read all the ENWorld threads that talk about them.

Very good point. I often wonder how many posters send their complaints/feedback/recommendations to WotC in addition to discussing them on ENWorld.

Another unintended consequences thing to test would be archery mastery. How would in interact with say, a ranger/warlock hybrid. Would it allow for use of both quarry and curse? It would be interesting to see a half-elf picking this up by grabbing a ranger power via dilletante, and then having fun with it with "counts as rba" powers. A half-elf mage would have some fun with magic missle combined with being able to slide/prone/slow(s/e) or make it a burst.

All powers gained by Expert Archer say in the power that it is an RBA with a weapon. So implement powers are out. Quarry and Curse can only be used on Ranger and Warlock powers specifically. A RBA is not a ranger power (though could be a Warlock power with Eldritch blot/blast). Similarly a fighter hybrid cannot mark a target with an MBA.

I was just wondering did WotC release an article with multi-class/hybride options for the classes in Heroes of the Fallen Lands?

Yes. It's was last month and where we saw the new subclass names for the core classes.

Same here. I was interested to see Hybrid Thief, Hybrid Slayer, Hybrid Knight, Hybrid Hunter and Hybrid Scout. Are those options out there?

Executioner takes Pact Initiate (Warlock MC feat) and chooses a pact, then takes Pact Blade Manifestation from the article, and ends up getting a sweet MBA replacement that uses DEX thanks to the Executioner class feature, and qualifies for Cursed Shadow at the same time?

Good thought but unfortunately the Attack Finesse lets the Executioner replace Dex for Str on a MBA, so the Pact Blade at-will would still use Cha.

I was hopeing for an assasin/thief

Much as I liked the Multiclass and Hybrid options presented for the Vampire and Hexblade, I was most looking forward to seeing said options for Fallen Lands characters. Perhaps next week or next month?

I dislike Assassins in general, Binders I find very 'meh,' for lack of a better term, but I thought the Blackguard, Cavalier, Ranger, and Sentinel options were interesting. Cavalier multiclass granting defender aura seems a little potent (even though it doesn't grant you the ability to punish the mark at-will).
