[QUOTE="Ipissimus, post: 4076922, member: 41514"] Ok, so they've let out a few more details on multiclassing in Podcast 20. Apparently: -You won't get the same benefts as someone who took the core class at 1st level all at once. -You start out with specific bonuses from your first multiclass level, then get more as you progress 'deeper' into the class, but probably not on a per-level basis. At least, at the moment, that's how I'm reading it. So, Class Training feats are probably for those people who want to dabble, while multiclassing is more 'hardcore', as we guessed or was hinted at. I find this interesting because it seems that, while they've been handing out the healing and giving powers to the formerly powerless, feedback we're getting from Experience is suggesting that the classes are tightly focussed in their roles. Perhaps too tightly focussed. So the question is, will it be worth multiclassing or dabbling in 4E? Could it still be beneficial for a Wizard to take a few Fighter abilities to help him survive toe-to-toe in cramped dungeon environments?
