Martial Power Multiclass feats

[IanArgent]

While roughly half of the multiclass feats are prereq: Paragon Multiclassing, the rest have no particular non-stat prereq. By my reading of the PHB p 208, Inspiring Leader, Ruthless Efficiency, Sly Dodge, Tactical Leader, and Two-Blade Warrior all function as the initial multiclass feat for their respective multiclassses (in addition to the other benefits of those feats).

Am I right, or have I been sniffing the new book smell a little much?

I don't know if you're right or not but I certainly would allow them to work that way.

I belive you are correct...a diffrent quastion came up at my table though...you are limited to 1 multi class feat, or one class of multi class feats???

Can you as a fighter take sneak of shadow, and sly Dodge?? what about Ruthlass ruffian???

as a 11th level fighter you could in theory then have the 3 power swap feats, and those three above and take Paragon mult Rogue...and your 11th level feat as First In... so all of your feats (inless you are human) went from 1-11 toward multi classing...is this the way of 'true' multi classing???

The blurb on MC feats found in the PHB says that once you take an MC feat, you can't take a class-specific feat for a diferrent class. So I guess you can take both instances of MC feats.

Since the prereq: MC feats are themselves MC feats, you have to be able to take multiple MC feats from the same class. Interesting thought

However, it also says you can't take a multiclass feat for your own class, and you are considered to be a member of a class if you take the class specific multiclass feat.

No, you're considered being of that class for the pre-requisites of other feats, and for the pre-requisites of paragon paths and epic destinies. For any other purpose you are not a member of that class. (That's important).

The inability to take your own class's MC feats is not a pre-requisite, it's a restriction on multi-class feats in general, therefore it does not take into account your own multi-class feats. If you've got a multi-class into fighter, the other MC fighter feats only notice you're a rogue.

1) You can take the alternate entry-point MC feats in the Martial Powers book, and treat them as entry-point feats for the other MC feats.
2) You can take them as well as the PHB MC entry feats, because you are not restricted from taking your own classes MC feats.

You forgot Battle Awareness(Fighter Multi). I took that for my Barbarian. Ignore me and get smacked with a really big hammer.
