[QUOTE="Skyscraper, post: 4301191, member: 48518"] I'll respectfully disagree with you. Multiclassing is a tradeoff. If you want to be able to get some powers of another class, you need to pay something. That something is a basic multiclass feat (that gives you training in one skill plus one class feature, so you get something in return) and then one more feat (max 3) for each power you swap. If you choose to trade your paragon path, you also trade away some higher level powers for some lower level ones. I think that's fair enough. The bottom line is: if there was no price to pay to multiclass, who wouldn't do it? Why then create classes if you can pick powers from another for free or for a marginal price? Also, you talk about at-will powers: who would want to pay a feat to get an at-will power? I'd much rather get the other more potent powers than an at-will. For example, if as a fighter you multiclass into wizard, you have fighter powers that deal much more damage than the magic missile does, what would you do with the magic missile anyway? I assume you're not referring to multiclassing anymore here. Assuming i'm right, you're [I]not[/I] forced to take a paragon path. You can take additional at-will, encounter and daily powers from your class list without going paragon IIRC. Sky [/QUOTE]
