[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5535959, member: 807"] From the very release of 4e, while I understood the feat cost for opening up multiclass (and gaining an encounter power from the other class in the process), the power swap feats always seemed way too steep a cost since you're not changing power level of the character (like any other feat would have done, in some way). Then I realized that when "themes" came out, it is basically multiclassing without the powerswap feats. You have the one feat to gain access to the theme (and gain an encounter power in the process) and then you can swap out freely between the theme and your base class. *IF* I ever did allow such a thing, I would be sure to first consider the implications of poaching. That is to say, i wouldn't want someone to multiclass into a class that someone else is doing. I know that sounds like an odd thing but it would just add insult to injury if the druid is able to out-wizard the wizard in the party in some particular way, might just kill the enjoyment of the wizard player -- i'm all for letting each PC (and therefore each player) having their own niche to call their own.
