You mean paragon multiclassing as far as not taking an existing paragon class? So a fighter who took a multiclass into wizard could still take a wizard paragon path right? That would make sense. I think the current system contradicts itself though. Your first feat will give you an at-will...

I think taking a multiclassing feat should give you more. NOOOOOOO! not right away :) I think you should be able to do something like swap out an at-will with your new class and gain a class feature and/or skill. Then do power swaps at later levels. I could see additional powers being taken...

I think the cerry picking is totally gone from multiclassing in 4e. As an example, if you multiclass into a ranger, while you can make attacks with two weapons, you don't gain the two weapon fighting style feat which allows them to use any one handed weapon in the off hand and also gives them...

That was my thought as well. Yeah, I was thinking wizard fot better utility spells anf close burst effects like fire shroud. It works well, but what regular wizard is going to get in the thick of things to do it? Hmm, interesting. Yeah, that is the big draw back for me right now with the...

I do like it in the sense that you don't lose anything from your base class by multiclassing (like BAB or spell levels) but I dislike that the only benefit is that you swap a power with one you currently have.

I personally think they are weak, but maybe that is why i write my own magazine and not one for Dragon :)

What is your thoughts on multiclassing? Do you think it is worth the 1-4 feats you will spend on it? Do you think that the power swap feats are worth it or should they be part of the multiclassing experience without having to spend 3 extra feats for it? Other opinions on other concerns are...

Well, my thought was, the swordmage and the Wizard use the same base stat. Being in the thick of things and having a few spells to help out in that situation like the shield utility or fire shroud could make the swordmage a bit more interesting especially when the sword mage powers start to...

I do like tricks, but with the swordmage I feel like I have to multiclass into wizard to a get a few extra tricks out of it. I did hear from a few sources that the battlerager kind of poops out at mid to higher levels, but I don't see it. I am leaning towards the swordmage just because of the...

I am making a new 2nd level character I have it narrowed down to a human swordmage: Str: 13 Con:13 Dex: 10 Int: 20 Wis: 10 Cha: 08 with the Arcane Unitiate, Armor Pro Hide and Defensive Mobility feats or a dwarven fighter with the battlerager vigor Str: 17 Con:18 Dex: 10 Int: 10 Wis: 13 Cha...

Well, thanks for the feed back. This is how I gather info. I think when I start a new campaign as a DM I would allow it. I heard some good arguements against but I don't feel it is abusive. Maybe the fighter throwing a SB and marking up to ten people, but after 1 one that goes away so not...

Which is all fine, but I changed the original question from can a human do this to would you allow a human to do this, so throw the rules out and speak in house rules.

Okay, ponder this then. Forget about the RAW, just approach it from a different way. Think of the history of humans from AD&D to 3.X to now. They have always been diverse. In the spirit of the history of humans and their versatility would you allow it? Some times that game isn’t cut and...

In addition to being a DM for over 25 years, I am also an official judge from the Magic the Gathering game. I have a tendency now to also view things in the order in which things are done. I see the game going in order that they appear in the book. So pick an at-will power first. There isn’t...

That is basically what I think. No matter what at-will you take, there will be a trade off, especially if the ability used for the attack isn’t the same as your base class. Well, seems like a few for and a few more against. Any other opinions?

Well, I could see where you might think that some players might min/max it but even with those powers it doesn't seem abusive. Twin Strike doesn't do extra damage from a modifier so there is a balacning factor already taken into account and wouldn't be any more abusvie than a ranger. Plus, a...

First, I personally think the multi-classing system is weak in 4e. But that is just me and a discussion for another thread. That said, I didn’t say switch out an attack encounter, utility or attack daily power, which is what the power swap feats do. I was only referring to the human’s ability...

I would argue that the 1/2 is just taking the best parts of human and elf and making a new race. They get the special ability to chose from human and elf feats which is huge. So I wouldn't say that that point of fact would really matter in this instance.

This is another point for it. Humans are the versatile race. They get an at-will from the base class instead of a set power. They get a bonus feat and skill instead of a second ability boost. To me it makes sense that this could work even if the RAW doesn' flat out say it. On the con side...

I thought of that too and that is really the only reason tosay no you can't. In spite of this I think it is a gray area.
