Multi classing into warlock paragons

[bobthehappyzombie]

I was looking at the multiclassing feats and the pact initiate warlock multiclassing does not give you the ability to curse as far as I can see.

It also says that you can enter the paragon class for the pact you have chosen.

Given that all of those pacts have abilities that rely heavily on the curse abiltity it seems that half the abilities would be lost.. there seems little point in ever taking a warlock paragon path if you are not a warlock.

Any other pointless multiclassing features?

How about this solution:

• Pact Initiate (Multiclass Warlock) – Many of the Warlock’s abilities rely upon the Warlock’s Curse to function. Therefore, a Pact Initiate must make a choice upon taking this feat: He may either gain the standard Warlock’s Curse as an Encounter power (which includes the bonus damage) instead of the Pact Power, or he may take the Pact Power as stated in the feat and gain a weakened form of the Warlock’s Curse as an Encounter power, called Warlock’s Mark. The Warlock’s Mark requires a Minor Action, and does not provide any additional damage, but it will trigger other Warlock abilities the same as a Warlock’s Curse.
