[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 8818097, member: 7015698"] Mobile came first, so it's not the same thing. What I mean is that Magic Iniate only gives you limited casting, it doesn't give you the 'Spellcasting' class feature with the full description of how many spells and how many slots and the progression. But I forgot Ritual Caster, you're right. A lot of multi classing feat are watered down versions of what a class can do, they are there to give you a dash of that class, to dip your toes without a level dip, and they work great in general. But even if a feat allowed you to grab a Fighting Style, it was still a FIGHTER'S fighting style you were picking. It's not like if Magic Initiate allowed you to pick spells from ANY class and pick whatever casting ability you wanted: you still had to reference a class either way. Same with Ritual Caster, you didn't have free reign and had to reference a class. Putting Fighting Styles in the feat section just detaches them from the Class. Imagine if Sneak Attack was a feat anybody could pick? Would it still feel like a Rogue's class feature? [/QUOTE]
