Forked from: The Whip: experiences and advice?
So, it seems that the intention here is that you can choose a single weapon-mastery feat in lieu of multiclassing. But that isn't what's written — the PH just says 1) you can't take a multiclass feat for your own class and 2) once you've taken a multiclass feat, you can't take a class-specific feat for a different class. (And then it's explained: you can dabble in a second class but not a third.)
Class-specific multiclass feats appear to be defined at the top of page
208 — namely, each class has one. Since weapon mastery isn't a class, clearly there isn't a class-specific feat for it, and therefore clearly by the RAW you can multiclass into fighter and then take a weapon mastery feat
On the other hand, it seems like there's no reason at all to make the weapon mastery feats be multiclass feats other than the intention of restricting them in this way — so it seems that must be the intention.
I'd ask Wizards, but their help form repeatedly tells me that an error has occurred and I should restart my browser.

feat. Normal rules for selecting multiclass feats apply.
