[QUOTE="chaotix42, post: 4741379, member: 40530"] For those without DDI subscriptions: You choose two classes. Each class has a unique entry - "Hybrid Cleric" for example. I'll use clerics and fighters as examples, but they give us all the PHB1 classes as well as the swordmage in the preview. Each entry lists the armor, weapons, and implements you become proficient in (although you only gain proficiency in armor shared by both classes), and the bonuses you gain to defenses.
