Bard...Exotic Weapon Master?

[Stalker0]

One interesting thing about the bard preview is that you can take multiple multiclass feats.

In the gladiator article, there were a series of weapon specializations you could take, but each required a multiclass feat.

Could the bard become the ultimate master of exotic weapons, able to specialize in multiple types?

Yes and no. They would probably have to sacrifice some stats to get the initial feat and then they would be limited by the three power swap feats.

If I'm not mistaken those feats had "any martial class" as a pre-req. Bard is an arcane class.

Which seemed a very ornery pre-req to me.

Edit: Dang, Atlatl already posed what I came up with after thinking about it for a bit. Seems the solution to multiclassing woes is - more multiclassing!

The Bard will just have to also take a multiclass feat in a martial class. Problem Solved!

Of course, there is still the issue of all the weapon mastery powers, and the martial classes, having str or dex as their pre-req/main stat ... and neither of those stats are the bards primary stats.

Yes, that is interesting. The multiple weapon mastery concept seems very Dark Sun-like.
