You can't, for example, make an Archer Ranger and later "multiclass into ranger" to get an animal companion.Now, if we look at the approach they seem to be taking, spreading it throughout classes, you could be a Controller (ie. Druid) and then later take the Paragon Multiclass into the Defender (ie. Warden) and with the options presented on Martial Power we've seen it's quite possible to achieve some good results (it is possible now for any given class Paragon Multiclassed into Fighter to get Combat Superiority for instance), so who's to say for example a Druid paragon mc into Warden wouldn't be able to get some nasty shapeshifting abilities? (PS: Disregard the speculations above, just consider it as a ways for me to illustrate my point)</blockquote>
