[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 9384045, member: 7808"] Honestly, this just sounds like powergaming to me. A (sub)class is designed and balanced around the entirety of the class. Some abilities are a little more powerful than others, some are a little more fun than others, some are a little for flavorful than others. The #1 reasons I see for a player to ask for this is because they have found a couple of very front-loaded subclasses, and want to get the benefits of the early stuff from both without waiting for the future benefits. This would be especially tempting in a game where you know you start at a high enough level to get past the worst of the "dead" levels where you would be weak, but you know is highly unlikely to get to the very high levels (18+) where the top tier abilities of of a subclass come into play. (EDIT: Exactly like [USER=6799660]@Willie the Duck[/USER] said, there is a "sweet spot" where these builds will shine). All that being said, I might allow it on a case-by-case basis. But I would never approve of a set of the rules for it. Too many opportunities for weirdness or abuse. [/QUOTE]
