[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 5099664, member: 710"] You can take Hybrid Talent a second time if you pick the Paragon Hybrid option, IIRC. There can be no general answer on whether an extra Hybrid Talent is unbalanced or not. Some Hybrid class options work better than others, and the designers do note so explicitely. In your specific ase: Avenger|Warlock suffers from a big ability score mis-match, I think, so allowing to take it multiple times might be just fine for this combination. For your game in general you can always say that you might allow it after some careful investigation on your own, with the option to disallow it if the player has found some kind of loophole. :) I remember a comment from one of the WotC designers on Hybrid Talent that indicated that the feat itself wouldn't have been broken if it also gave skill training in the hybrid's skill*. Maybe that would seem to you as a "safer" boost than taking Hybrid Talent multiple times? [size=1]*) I wonder if this will ever result in errata along those lines? Or wouldn't it be worth it? Or wouldn't they dare to issue errata so soon after the release - a change they basically could have or should have done before printing the books?[/size] [/QUOTE]
