[QUOTE="Fallen Seraph, post: 4196707, member: 57894"] Also on-top of all that Mouseferatu said. I think there is less cost for swapping of powers then the cost of multiclassing in 3e. You figure with 4e, you use a feat you swap a power. This I think is much less costly then having to progress up any odd number of levels to gain the specific aspect of the class you wished to have. Thus, the main class you wished to focus in becomes weaker, simply because you wanted a particular aspect of another class. This to me feels much more costly then simply losing a feat (which in my eyes from both gamist and simulationist-side makes perfect sense, gamist: balancing, simulationist: your spending your time and effort to learn a power so you don't gain a feat). On a more general point too, I like this too since I can nitpick what I want from multiclassing more, instead of being overwhelmed by various class abilities that take away from my character concept.
