For a moment, let's just accept this premise-- You spend a feat and give up a power in order to gain a power from another class. The real question is "Is it worth it?" It might well be. A fighter might find that being able to cast a fireball (something a fighter can never do otherwise) is worth spending a feat and a power for. I think that's entirely plausible. More generally, one might find that the combination of an arcane and martial powers is more 'powerful' or 'useful' than just having that extra martial power. So it's worth spending a feat.Even more generally, it might be that certain cross class powers in combination are more useful or powerful than combinations of within class powers. So, it might be worth taking the feat.Now this ignores whether having access to paragon paths you wouldn't be able to take or perhaps feats that you wouldn't have access to otherwise adds benefit. Of course, there's no way to tell whether it's worth it till we have the full ruleset. Which brings me to a second and separate question than whether it's worth spending a feat and a power to get another power:Can I build the fighter/mage I'm envisioning using these multiclass rules?Unfortunately, I don't think we know yet.  Until we see the paragon paths, the class specific feats, all the powers, etc. , I just think it's too hard to tell.Anyway, only a few weeks till we can start this argument all over again with new data.AD</blockquote>
