[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5628165, member: 58416"] I love multiclassing. I don't believe it is weak, you just need to put some thought into it. Some combos are pretty brutal. An Eladrin Barbarian who MCs into Fighter to qualify for Fey Charge comes to mind. One of the reasons I tend to like MCing over hybrid is because I don't need to give up class features or worry about some of my features not working when I use certain powers. I like picking up some bursts and blasts when I play a fighter. The Warlord is also a very friendly MCing class. With strength as your primaries, pretty much anything that uses STR is a good choice. With INT or CHA being the other ability you use a lot, it's also possible to MC into a wide variety of caster classes to great effect. As for the OP... if all you want is a little extra healing, you could probably get by with the characters only taking the first MC feat into a healing class. It's only once per day, but if more than one character does so, that would probably be enough to help cushion things. I'm not very familiar with the Essentials classes, but if the Mage works similarly to the Wizard (I think it does,) you could probably MC into Cleric and do alright. I think there's a PP in PHB which allows you to reroll missed attacks which were made against Will -which tends to be quite a few wizard powers. It would also give the Mage some healing ability, and since I imagine he's the character who tends to keep distance between himself and the enemy anyway, he's probably a good candidate to give some of the healing to. I won't comment on the ranger because it's hard to say without knowing what kind of ranger he is. If all you are looking for is for some sneak attack and thievery, Rogue is probably fine. I know pretty much nothing at all about the knight, so I have no idea. However, again, if all you want is a little more healing, I see no harm in taking the first MC feat for a leader class just to get some healing. [/QUOTE]
