The recent Ecology of the Deva article (Dragon #374) and the earlier Playing Dhampyr article (Dragon #371) had bloodline feats that worked similar to multiclassing feats. For example, a character could only have bloodline feats of only one race or type. The Dhampyr article even had power-swap bloodline feats that allowed you to replace utility and attack powers with vampire-themed abilities. I also doubt that we will see many more multiclass-only classes similar to the Spellscarred. I tried to do something similar myself, and found that coming up with even two encounter, daily and utility powers for each relevant level was a lot of work. I think that future multiclass-only classes will mostly take the form of the weapon mastery feats in the Gladiator, Shadar-kai and Assassin articles: one base feat, and three power swap feats, one each for encounter, daily and utility powers. There is scope to expand beyond this rather basic framework, however: more power swap options (possibly further differentiating the power swap feats into encounter, daily and utility categories and imposing a restriction that a character may have only one power swap feat of each category) and other (non-power swap) feats that have the basic multiclass feat as a prerequisite.</blockquote>
