A fighter who multiclasses as either a rogue, ranger or warlord could pick from any of the four lists at any time?OK, that unrestricted access to powers might be too much... but if the multiclassing within your power source gave you 'virtual' versions of the multiclassing feats at the appropriate level? That might do it.So a fighter/wizard is multiclassing outside his power source and thus needs to spend a feat on Novice Power at 4th level to swap an encounter power. The fighter/warlord is multiclassing inside his power source, and so at 4th level he can automatically choose an encounter power from either list at that point.Just kicking some ideas around here...</blockquote>
