Ever seen ghostrider? There's always the deal with the devil you make for all the best reasons ... The fiddle of gold, where you trick or win your powers from the devil, without being bound to serve him. Also see many russian and slavic folktales where the devil can be outsmarted. There's...

Or, if you want damage ... Two Closing Spells. 16d10+2int. Burst 5. Kaboom.

I think it's worth noting that not alot of items will likely be /bought/ from merchants. Sold to? Absolutely. But given the treasure tables, and the way cash seems to be doled out, I'd expect /buying/ magic items to be fairly infrequent. Remember, there's no XP cost to make magic items...

How reliable/quick etc do you want them to be, in your games? I'm going for a three musketeers/phoenix guards/PotC feel for mine, so they'll just be encounter power 'magic items'. I like the initial exchange of fire, but for things to be decided by swords. YMMV, of course.

Alternatively, Summoner/NEcromancer/etc might be a distinct role. I'm not sure how either of those would fit into one of the current role boxes.

You've also neglected paragon path multiclassing (though to be fair, there isn't info on it, yet). It's a bit early to be declaring that multiclassing is dead, though. Especially before you have any idea what the rest of the paragon paths, rules, avaliable powers, and so forth entail.

Mmm. I suppose we're all just whistling in the dark, here. In 3.X, I don't think you'd get any arguments that this ability would be worth a feat. Just look at all the CO builds that used the 'extra power known' feat from the XPH or the number of people who picked domains entirely for a single...

It is if it's shapechange. :D The ability to maintain a high end level appropriate ability from outside of your normal class and role is worth a feat, IMO. We've seen it stated before, that classes are balanced against classes. If powers were all the same, we'd not have as many classes as...

I'll concur with that.

Not at all. Because losing three levels in your primary spellcasting class was horrid. Losing one power really doesn't compare to how /bad/ that was. This is more like the anima mage, really. No spellcasting levels lost, feat buy in for extra abilities. (I think it was the anima mage. The...

The breaks are in the wrong place on that list. Those levels are the /pre-reqs/. The text states that as you go up in level, the power can change. This means you can, with your encounter feat, eventually have a wizard 30 encounter power (if there is one). I'd say that's worth a feat.

So what's the problem if my rogue with cleric multiclass feats gains a level and switches out some cleric 'spellcasting' for turn undead? You've had 3 and a half editions of justifying 'my god has given me different miracles today than yesterday'. Or did I completely misunderstand the post...

You're trading power for /flexibility/ IMO. Rogues don't get Aoe damage, normally. it's not their deal. They're single target DPS, to use MMO terminology. Spending a feat or two to get the ability to lay down level equivalent wizard-Aoe goodness is what you're buying. You're paying for the...

I just don't really see this as a huge deal. But rhen, I don't see why turn undead doesn't work for you as a spell. "I used to pray to Pelor for blessings in battle. But after the wight ate my grandma, I've realized the error of my ways. My prayers now scourge the undead, and I hunt them...

I'm going to assume that you worked with a group that allowed monk or paladin multiclassing, since otherwise your statement doesn't make sense. But even if we leave that out of the 3.5's 'worthwhile' multiclassing, there are still quite a few things that 3.5 made difficult to do with...
