[QUOTE="AndrewDB, post: 4761467, member: 67594"] You're so right. I assigned meaning to class-specific that I shouldn't have, and my explanation was wrong. When I read multiclassing for the first time, there were no non-class-specific multiclass feats. My thought process at that time needed to justify the class-specific qualifier in the absence of non-class-specific multiclass feats. That's why I defined it the way I did. I followed that definition erroneously, even after I learned about non-class-specific multiclass feats. Thanks for redirecting me on that definition. However, I would continue to stand by the conclusion for other reasons. You shouldn't retrain a class-specific multiclass feat and retain a power obtained from the Novice, Acolyte or Adept power swap feats. All three state that you can replace an existing power with another power from "the class you multiclassed in." That wording seems to tie the new powers to the specific multiclass. No longer having that multiclass creates a conflict. Unfortunately, it's not clearly defined that way. I don't think you can definitively extrapolate the intent of the rule without going to WotC. Strictly addressing the OP, I don't think the retraining rules were intended to address players who want to re-multiclass into a previously unavailable class. I would echo Gargoyle's comment, but then let the player retcon into the previously unavailable multiclass. [/QUOTE]
