Message: <blockquote data-quote="Viktyr Gehrig" data-source="post: 4300581" data-attributes="member: 9249">Not the 3.X multiclassing system on the whole, but the way that class levels interacted with Initiator level for Book of Nine Swords characters-- your Initiator level was your class level in the class that granted you access to the maneuver, plus one-half your other class levels.Given the nature of 4e powers, the ratio would have to be reduced... but imagine the following:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> You must select a class-specific feat to multiclass. This feat grants you one of the new class' class skills and one of the class' 1st level at-will powers.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> From that point on, you may advance levels in the other class, in 3.X fashion.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> You may multiclass into as many classes as you have selected multiclass feats for.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Whenever you gain a level, you must select any powers gained from the class you advance. You may select Power Swap feats as normal.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Your class level for the purposes of selecting new powers is equal to your class level plus 1/4 your level in other classes.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> You may select your paragon path from any class available to you at 11th level.</li> </ul>Now, there is a significant cost built into multiclassing and the lack of specialization costs you higher-level powers. Players may choose how much (or how little) they intend to develop their secondary (or tertiary) class(es)-- without becoming significantly more or less powerful than their single-classed peers.And there's nothing new or original there. That's using nothing more than multiclassing rules from Book of Nine Swords (which was a major inspiration for the power system) with the concept of spending a feat for the privilege of multiclassing.</blockquote>
