I do not understand your concept of extra striker damage or "word" class features. Please explain.Say a Paladin 3 takes 3 levels of Fighter to get Combat Superiority (he would get it at level 4, but would still need to take 2 more levels of Fighter).That's a 6th level PC that is very versatile with 4 At Wills, 2 level 1 encounter attack powers, 2 level 1 daily attack powers, 2 level 2 utility daily powers, and 2 level 3 encounter attack powers.But, the PC can only use one of these at a time.He gives up 1 level 5 daily attack power and 1 level 6 daily utility power. 2 more powerful daily powers for 4 less powerful encounter and daily powers (the At Wills add versatility, not power).He can mark with Combat Challenge or Divine Challenge, but not both at the same time.At level 11, he cannot take a PrC class and gain 11th level PrC powers. He has to minimally wait until level 14.He cannot swap out lower level powers with higher level powers until 3 levels later.There are not just advantages here, there are also restrictions here. Yes, the PC is extremely versatile. But, overpowered? And what about higher levels when other PCs each have a 15 level Daily Attack power and his highest level Daily Attack power is 9th level (highest level Utility power is 10th level)?I'm not convinced (yet).Were 3.5 Fighter 6 / Wizard 3 PCs more powerful than Fighter 9 or Wizard 9 PCs? Isn't the concept similar?My player does not find it unbalanced.He finds it to be not multi-classing. Gaining a skill and a once per day ability does not make one a Cleric.</blockquote>
