Hybrid Classes

[Rechan]

A teleporting melee combatant?

Otherwise known as a Swordmage?

 

[NMcCoy]

Ooh, things are looking quite good indeed for my Warden/Ranger+Fighter character idea.

(Notation Proposal: Using a slash to denote hybrid classes and a plus to indicate multiclassing seems like a good idea to me.)

Wait... with the Hybrid Talent feat, I can combine the fey pact boon with a melee class? Like the Barbarian? A teleporting melee combatant?

Yup...you'll just be stuck with leather armor proficiency.

I think you'd also want to pick up eldritch blast and take, "reaper's touch," to make it a melee touch attack.

You could have a bit of fun once you got to the paragon tier and took the fey-touched paragon path. Slashing wake is neat.

Hm. Fighter|Barbarian using Hybrid talent to get Battlerager Vigor?

I wish we had the PHB2 classes. Oh well, maybe I'll go with Warlock|Wizard.

 

[Cadfan]

Otherwise known as a Swordmage?

Not nearly enough teleportation.

Yup...you'll just be stuck with leather armor proficiency.

Eh, I'll blow a feat on chainmail. I'll hardly notice.

 

[Xris Robin]

Oh. Hm. Just thought, Warlock|Rogue, using Hybrid Talent to get Shadow Walk. Take Fleeting Ghost as your level 2 utility, and stealth all over the place.

Hm. If you take Hybrid Talent (Spellbook), does it still only apply to Wizard dailies?

 

[Rechan]

I wonder what happens to the power distribution when you multi-class a hybrid character.

For instance, if you're a Cleric/Rogue, you need 1 encounter that's cleric and one that's rogue. Well, if you Multi into Avenger, and now you have an Avenger and a Rogue power... now what? What about the cleric one? Do you have to always have 1 Cleric/1 Rogue/1 Avenger?

Reaper's Touch is what?

 

[Rechan]

Oh. Hm. Just thought, Warlock|Rogue, using Hybrid Talent to get Shadow Walk. Take Fleeting Ghost as your level 2 utility, and stealth all over the place.

You'd have to look at the PHB2's stealth errata and see if that works.

Stealth is one convoluted mess tho.

Now this is what I am talking about. From what I have read from this thread it apears I can now play my wizard as a striker (wizard sorcerer) or a defender (wizard fighter). I can take the shtick I want and attach it to the mechanics I want. Kudos, nicely done.
