[QUOTE="Stuntman, post: 5071056, member: 84817"] Yes. You can look them up in the compendium and the character builder supports it. Unlike multilclassing, you have to choose to play a hybrid charcter at level 1. When you choose to be a hybrid, you choose two hybrid versions of two classes and gain the class features of each of the hybrid classes. For instance, if you want to play a fighter-wizard hybrid, you choose the hybrid fighter and the hybrid wizard. You do not choose the normal versions of these classes. The hybrid versions of the classes contain only a subset of class features of the normal class. Also, some of these class features are powered down versions of normal class features. For instance, the fighter's combat challenge can only be used if you are attacking with a fighter power. You cannot use CC with a wizard power or basic attack. A hybrid character generally allows you to function as one class/role or the other at any time, but not together. You can choose to be like a fighter one round and then be like a wizard another round. Also, you are likely not going to be as good or be able to sustain the functions or role of that class for as long as a single classed character. What you gain is the flexibility to function like on class or the other whichever you choose. What you lose is the ability to be as good a class as a single classed character. [/QUOTE]
