Lay on Hands through multiclassing?

[cmbarona]

Simple question: Is there any way to get the Paladin ability Lay on Hands through multiclassing? I know Soldier of the Faith gives Divine Challenge, but what about their other defining at-will?

 

[Larrin]

Nope, you can only get daily, utility, and encounter powers with feats beyond soldier of faith, and with PP multiclassing you can only get an at-will (and additional daily, utility etc).

Currently the you can't get any class features (lay-hands, channel divinity) through multiclassing except those given by the initial feat.

OK, thanks.

It's like that for every class. You can't get Combat Superiority, Prime Shot, Channel Divinity, Cantrips, or any other interesting bag of tricks through feats.

Which is why multi-classing is not all that alluring...

Cannot get any ranger PP's because you do not get a ranger style, and there are more, but no books on hand to point them out... I think warlock is same way...

choosing a God/dess is almost worthless now because you cannot get channel divinity unless you started as a divine class... So many ways that a person could truly customize their character, but is against the rules as they are...

It's niche protection. If you can get Cantrips or Channel Divinity or Lay on Hands while being any other class, why would you choose to be a Wizard/Paladin in the first place?

Class matters - pick one.

I think it would be fine to allow lay on hands 1/day as your paladin multiclass power instead of the divine challenge, its weaker than the cleric one but it allows you to pursue the paladin path and get some healing.

I may be remembering compeletly wrong, but I feel like I read some where (or else made it up in my head) that there would at some point be alternate multiclass feats for the various classes that would offer other class features if you didn't like the class feature available in the existing multiclass feat for that class.
again though, i really don't know the source and for all i know i completely imagined it.


having said that, i would say stalker0's suggestion is a good one if your DM allows it as a house rule.

Martial powers has been said to include further Multi-classing feats....there has been NO indication of what they are, but it is reasonable to assume that they somehow would allow you to get more class features. Its an educated guess, nothing more.

But only for Martial classes, and the Paladin is a Divine class. Will have to wait for Divine Power or new multi-class Paladin feats.
