[QUOTE="Nemesis Destiny, post: 5503418, member: 98255"] It can work very well. I have a Wizard multiclassed into Shaman for the once-per-encounter healing, and now in addition to being a full-blown Controller, she's half a Leader as well. I fluffed the Spirit Companion as a Spectral Hand. I also have a Valourous Bard multiclassed as (among other things) a Paladin. He has had to be off-tank before, and I have found that it really helps fill the role, though he doesn't really have the defences or hit points to last long at it. It does suit his personality and inclinations however. I haven't used this particular trick yet, but multiclassing Rogue for a once-per-encounter Sneak Attack can really add a nice bit of secondary striker to a character. Works particularly well for a Tempest Fighter using rapiers or shortswords. I've see a lot of builds multiclass avenger for the reroll ability for two turns. This also works especially well with multi-hitters like Tempests. I really haven't got much experience with power swap feats, as they seem like a really bad deal in most cases. Though there are some really nice ones (swapping for the Warlock level 10 at-will teleport utility, for example). If you are actually referring to hybrid-classed characters, you have to really be careful. It's easy to nerf yourself with a few bad choices. Some combos are about as effective as a regular character, most are weaker, and a few are stronger. There is a pretty good hybird build guide [URL="http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/23257773/Miscibility_Table:_Hybrid_Builds?pg=1"]here[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
