[QUOTE="Felon, post: 4791860, member: 8158"] It seems to me that just as we have paragon paths races in PHB2--which are indifferent to the character's base class--we could likewise have them for paragon multiclassed characters. Why shouldn't a multiclassed paragon character get some neat benefit for spending an action point? OK, I multiclassed my warlock with wizard. It's the only remotely good multiclassing option available because my best stat is Con and my second-best is Int. How has my world opened up? What wizard at-will is worth having as an encounter (bearing in mind the attack and damage roll is effectively -2 relative to my warlock powers)? What wizard encounter, utility, or daily is worth both a feat and a warlock power of the corresponding type? Classes get versatility from multiclassing by virtue of their base class being needlessly hemmed in to begin with. The barbarian multiclasses as ranger just to have an attack he can use with his throwing axe. The monk multiclasses as rogue just to have some use for his shurikens. That's two feats gone, and the "feats aren't all that good anyway" argument is swiftly going the way of the flumph as more books come out. I know human warlock is all feated out, and seriously wants his mutliclass feats back. You ought to get some benefit in addition to swapping out a power. The notion of providing to additional powerful feats that have multiclassing as a prerequisite has me intrigued. [/QUOTE]
