[QUOTE="Catalyst, post: 339708, member: 6246"] But my point is, isn't there already a checks and balances system for this in the prereqs, aside from any class-level restrictions? If the Rogue multiclasses, chances are he'll have a harder time building the 30 ranks in Tumble necessary for Epic Dodge. Spellcasters need every rank in Spellcraft they can get for virtually every epic magic-oriented feat in the book, ranks they will pay dearly for if they dabble in non-casting classes.
