[QUOTE="Vyvyan Basterd, post: 4791684, member: 4892"] The cost of the feat gives your character versatility. Making your character MAD when you choose non-synergous classes has been an issue since point-buy became the prevalent means of generating ability scores and your class's abilities actually keyed off your prime stat. A fighter/caster in previous editions needed a good Str/Con/Dex and a good Int/Wis/Cha (maybe less so as we go back in editions). There are still utilities that require no attack roll that you could pick up that could synergize well with a character concept you have in mind. Paragon Multiclassing isn't needed. You can retrain lower level powers picked up through multiclassing as you gain in levels to access higher level powers from your chosen multiclass while still gaining access to your PP powers. And you now have more PPs available to you because you multiclassed (and you gain this benefit with the very first feat which most agree [B]is[/B] worth the cost). So, I disagree and I think people are still too shocked by the "sticker price" to look into how multiclassing in 4E can benefit their character or its concept without automatically screwing themselves. Once I get a chance to get out from behind the DM screen I plan to prove my theory to my players. [/QUOTE]
