[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6018483, member: 6696971"] I agree with this. The feats are quite good and if you just allow people to endlessly Power Swap (negotiated with DM, of course) after a second multi-class feat is chosen it goes a long way toward opening up archetype availability. It doesn't typically improve potency but rather just it diversifies repertoire mechanically and thematically...which is pretty much the point of multi-classing, isn't it? There will be some potent, thematic synergistic combos, that are ability score neutral, here and there but that has always been the case in multi-classing (and should be retained). For my money, however, this was 3.x's greatest contribution. The ability to customize to archetype by way of the multi-class system was wonderful. Unfortunately, it had its (well-known...which I won't reiterate) drawbacks due to the schematics of the class and prestige class build-structure. If those drawbacks can be curtailed, then 3.x's multi-class rules would easily be my preference. [/QUOTE]
