Excerpt: Multiclassing (merged)

[neceros]

To be clear, you can still take a Paragon Path if you multiclass, it's just that if you plan on really deeply multiclassing, you can forego it.

"A character who has taken a class-specific multiclass feat counts as a member of that class for the purpose of meeting prerequisites for taking other feats and qualifying for paragon paths."

Right, I was using the 10/10 approach, not the feats.

It seems that if you take base class "X" and MC feat "y" you cannot take a paragon path for class "Z"; only one for class X or Y.

 

[Incenjucar]

Sorry bub, you can only multiclass with one other class...

The mega-stabber does not need to be the one who used Sleep.

 

[Surgoshan]

So a half-elven rogue takes hunter's quarry as his racial ability thing and then dipmulticlasses to get sleep.

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

The table looks fine to me, but two images aren't showing up.

IMO there are no more X/Y class splits, you are simply always your base class and if you MC and opt for a paragon path MC you are simply gaining paragon powers from the other base class. The big question is what action point power do you gain? Or maybe you get a new at-will? Don't know that yet.

So a fighter20/wizard10 is really a ftr30 with a MC feat and the wizard paragon path.

So a half-elven rogue takes hunter's quarry as his racial ability thing and then dipmulticlasses to get sleep.

That assumes the half-elf can multiclass outside his racial "dip" choice...

The current assumption is the half-elf only gets a power and not a class feature for the racial ability.

Hmm, interesting, though not as much information as I'd hoped. The initial feat is tailored by class and gives you an extra trained skill & encounter power. All well and good, but... You spend 3 more feats for the novice, acolyte, and adept options and you gain effectively nothing; the option to swap out powers you would have gotten anyway with other powers of the same level. That strikes me as being very much like the TWF tax in 3e: spend feats so that you can almost do as much damage as a 2H fighter! Have they made multiclassing beyond the first feat too weak, in order to keep the powergamers away from it?

And no information on how paragon-path-multiclassing works or how it interacts with the feats.

So the cleric and warlord multiclass feats give you Healing / Inspiring Word 1/day. Looking at the DDXP cleric's Healing Word...it's an encounter power, but you can use it twice per encounter (once per round). Do you think the multiclass version is usable twice per day then?
