[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 4972291, member: 2011"] My issue is with the entire concept. What is multiclassing to most people in 4E? It's a way to get a single skill and a single other ability and possibly to meet a prerequisite for a feat, or a Paragon and/or Epic class. Period. End of story. It's totally game mechanics. Very few people using Multiclassing to acquire powers from another class. Nobody uses it to acquire so much as a single class feature from another class. It's not even dabbling. It doesn't rate that strong of a term. The entire idea of multiclassing from a game perspective in RPGs has historically been is the ability to acquire abililties from two or more classes. Even changing the word to dualclassing is not sufficient because it does not do that. Multiclassing in 4E does not do that. Neither does Hybrid. Both allow the PC to have powers from two classes (at an extreme cost), but neither of them allows a PC to actually have multiple class features from two classes. One cannot pick two Fighter skills and two Wizard skills with multiclassing unless there is already overlap. How is this comprehensible as MULTI - CLASSED if one cannot even get two skills from each of the classes? [/QUOTE]
