[QUOTE="DrSpunj, post: 1149901, member: 994"] Nice! :D The only thing I can add is that I see the analogy you've described slightly differently. A Fighter taking 2+ different feat trees to me is like a Wizard who was somehow allowed to Specialize in multiple schools. The first time through they focus on Evocation magic. After getting access to 4th level spells they are forced to go back and pick up something else, Abjuration maybe, instead of getting more powerful magic. Are they more diversified with their magic? Absolutely, they'll likely have a appropriate spell for more situations, but they aren't gaining more powerful spells. Taking more Wizard levels to pick up Transmutation or any of the other schools gives you more options when you go to cast a spell, but none of them are more powerful. That's what a Fighter feels like to me after about 6th level (assuming I specialized so far). I can diversify myself into another tree , but my next feat choice/tree isn't more powerful than where I'm starting from, instead I'm essentially starting over, essentially *forced* to multiclass as a BowFtr6/TwfFtr1 as silly as that sounds, and that's not an attractive choice to me most of the time. A Wiz6 doesn't face that same automatic loss in power if he continues as a Wiz7, but it's a choice he *can* opt to make for versatility if he wants to multiclass with a level of some other class.
