Message: <blockquote data-quote="satori01" data-source="post: 3439176" data-attributes="member: 7859">So in Complete Scoundrel the book introduces some new feats that let a multi class character combine the levels of 2 specific class together to determine the effectiveness of a class ability.Ok we have seen that before, but the powerup given by the Feats are almost no brainers.  The Monk/Pally or Pally/Bard type feats just help mitigate,(and often times not well), the wonkiness of multi classing certain classes.Daring Outlaw lets a Swashbuckler/Rogue combine both class levels together in terms of Sneak Attack Damage/Grace/ and Reflex save.Mmmm OK, I think I could do that.  If you were playing a Swashbuckler why not take the feat and 3 levels of Rogue.  Evasion + Sneak Attack versus losing out on the 20 level ability to do 2 points of Con dmg.  Con Dmg is big...but Sneak Attack across the life of a character is better.The book has plenty of those feats:Ascetic Stalker: add Monk/Ninja levels together to determine Unarmed Strike Damage, Ki uses for Ninja Class, and what the Unarmed strike effects.  Perfect for a dip into monk, to get Improved Grapple & Flurry.Now your Ninja can Invisibly Flurry Shurikens for Sudden Strike and Grapple like a pro to get even more Sudden Strike... and you effectively loss nothing on the Ninja side.Master Spellthief: Combine Spellthief/ Any Arcane Spell casting class to determine Caster Level & what level spells you can steal.  1 feat and one dip into Spellthief gives you +1d6 Sneak Attack and the ability to steal spells.  If I was playing a Beguiler, I would do it in a heart beat, the synergy is too good, plus it helps get you into Arcane Trickster and the like if you so want.Swift Hunter: Scout & Ranger levels stack for Skirmish bonus and Rangers Favourite Enemy.  Again why not take a feat and 1 level of either class to get a nice class ability.  Scout and Ranger abilities overlap so much, ultimately you wind up about the same anyway.Clearly the feats were intended to get little used classes more play, and I would love to use the feats as a player, but some of these are just too attractive.</blockquote>
