Excerpt: Multiclassing (merged)

Formatting on that table's a little off. That's going to confuse some people.

Which part? I didn't notice. I might be confused...

What I'm a little sad about is the absence of discussion about how the paragon part works.

Also, to interpret this, you'd really need a better sense of what feats will be worth, in order to judge how the benefits of the multiclass feats stack up.

I feel unsatisfied, even though it is pretty crunchy!

 

[A'koss]

Yeah, the article is somewhat poorly worded in places, but as Lackhand points out the feat list doesn't have any level prerequisites.

How so? I didn't notice any oddness.

I think the multiclassing rules are good, but I had hoped for a more in depth multiclassing ability. If I wanted to spend all of my feats on multiclassing (In getting all abilities, etc) I should be able to. AS it stands, though, it's not horrible.

 

[Rechan]

I wonder if the Half-elf's free 'snatch a power from someone else' counts as qualifying for any multi-classing ahead of time.

I think the '4th/8th/10th' by the Power Swap feats mean when you can get them. Or what level of a power you can get?

 

[small pumpkin man]

Interesting.....Does this mean we have to wait until 11th level to start picking up powers from another class?

Not really a fan of that idea.

What? You can take the Novice power feat at 4th level. or possibly as soon as you take one of the other feats, it's not obvious whether those levels are prereques or not. anyway, you certainly don't have to be 11th.

 

[Green Knight]

The warlock pre-gen is a half elf, I thought, and has that wizard power as a result of his racial ability.

But hmm.

They've said that Half-Elves are good multiclassers, so Half-Elves probably get a multiclass Feat of their choice, and in this case, Tira got Arcane Initiate.

"Novice Power Any class-specific multiclass Swap one encounter power with one of multiclass feats, 4th level

Acolyte Power Any class-specific multiclass Swap one utility power with one of multiclass feats, 8th level

Adept Power Any class-specific multiclass Swap one daily power with one of multiclass feats, 10th level "

Those feats seem to indicate that you can get powers earlier.

 

[Incenjucar]

Hmnn.

I wonder how people are going to take only being able to "take" two classes.

 

[Wiman]

Only allowing one multiclass is an important step towards fixing something which was inherently problematic.

Easy to use by the looks of it too.

 

[Shroomy]

Hmnn.

I wonder how people are going to take only being able to "take" two classes.

You tell them that they are essentially getting two more classes at 11th and 21st level.
