However, for some builds, they are strictly a power gain, (for one build I did, a Wiz 15/Loremaster 5.. I was already planning to have him take the pre-requisites. As result, the build was far more powerful, because I used my options to gain back the bonus feat I had 'given up', while gaining 2 more special abilities) because they give special abilities at a far faster rate than many of the base classes. The idea is to avoid that, by giving each class some special ability that fills in the dead levels, and makes multiclassing an actual choice, rather than an obvious powerboost without real downsides.</blockquote>
