New EPIC Feat: Adaptability

[Vlos]

Humans are naturally adaptive in that they choose which ever is their highest class as their favored class. There are also Feats which allow races to add a "Casting class" as a Favored class as well, though I have not seen any for fighter or other classes.

So if a Non-Epic Feat can add a second class as a Favored class it would seem logical a EPIC feat could do the same with a little more flexibility.



EPIC Feat: Adaptability
Prerequisites: EPIC Character
Benefit: The character can choose an additional favored class. The chosen class doesn't count against him or her when determining experience point penalties for multiclassing.

Special: A character may take this more than once, each time chosing a new additional favored class.

It seems rather badly underpowered for an epic feat (although maybe that's just me?). I would have no problem with it allowing you to ignore XP penalties for multiclassing altogether.

 

[Vlos]

Yes, I would say its under powered too compared to most, but too powerful for a normal feat unless it has some prerequisites.

 

[Arbiter of Wyrms]

Agreed.
I dropped the favored class rules and multiclass xp penalty. IME, multiclassing is more often a RP choice than a powergaming one.

Agreed

Unearthed Arcana has it own take on this, but it is not epic.

Additional Favored Class [General]
You are more adept at combining different talents than most members of your race.
Benefit:Choose a character class, such as ranger. The chosen class is treated as a favored class for the purpose of determining whether your character takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.
Normal: Without this feat, if any class other than your race's favored class is 2 or more lower than your highest-level, you take a -20% penalty to XP earned for each class that is not within one level of your highest-level class.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take the feat it applies to a new class.

If only that were so in my game. One of my players is a Barbarian/Cleric/Fighter/Monk.
