You can do high concept Pulp Fiction meets Bambi things, like "He's a fighter, but he also backstabs." This rolls up a lot of the "dips" from 3.5, along with prestige classes like the Street Fighter, Anima Mage, Pious Templar, and Purple Dragon Knight, no mess no fuss. It looks like the 4e Mystic Theurge and Eldritch Knight will be done by forgoing your paragon path. One nice side effect: if you don't want your fighter to turn into Xena or a character from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, just forego your paragon path to pick up warlord, rogue, or ranger abilities. Criticisms: It's artificial, somewhat limiting, and makes too much explicit mention of choosing and swapping powers as though they were cards. But that's totally in line with 4e, so it's hard to find fault with that. It's probably not difficult to imagine your character as being more homogeous than they appear on your sheet. No triple-classing... except for a minor cheat for the half-elf. But even they don't get extra skills.</blockquote>
