[QUOTE="Ashodin, post: 5054303, member: 87252"] I tired searching for an answer to this on the forums first, but it seems my search doesn't work. I do not have permission to do that. Odd. So I figured I'd post the question and I apologize before hand if this question has already been asked / answered. Multiclassing seem's very different in this version. And for the most part I believe I grasp the general concept to it. You choose the multiclass feat, and follow it's instructions on selecting your at will or whatever it provides. Easy enough. What I don't gather is exactly how this effects your character in the long run. Now granted I never had or came across multiclass characters pre 4th edition because the people I played with where very strict on that. So the only experience I have with multiclassing is for DDO, and apparently it's very determental to your end game, cause you loose like your last level or something. What i'm not sure of is does this happen for 4th edition as well? Do you loose your level 30 benefits? I figured the only down side from what it seems that is at whatever level you choose to multiclass, you just forgo selecting whatever you should have gone for your primary class? Am I right in understanding that? And could someone explain what negative effects will come about multiclassing? For instance, I'm thinking about multiclassing the groups Cleric since it's a babysitter and doesn't really do anything but heal atm. With a Druid, just for RP purposes mainly, I think it'll be cool to have a shape shifting cleric who can beat the snot out of people as a cat, then swap to heal. Will this gimp the group? Mind you it is the primary healer, but there is a Warlord in the group who does secondary healing, so it won't destory them so much. [/QUOTE]
