Paragon Multiclassing: What am I missing?

[Zurai]

And you kept it in your grab bag of magical items?

Bags of Holding are what, level 2 items? A Paragon tier character can afford a dozen of them easily and they only weigh a pound each.

And how did you get the +3 and +4 bastard swords, buy them both?

Loot. Duh. DMs are supposed to give PCs items that they want. Obviously his PC wants magical bastard swords.

Nah, buy them.
If they're not available, just get someone (even myself, if every other PC isn't a ritual caster) to use the enchant magic item ritual.

Ti-i-i-ime is on my side, yes it is..

Also, level 5 and level 10 respectively.

Some, not all. Mask is making the assumption that he will have enough wealth to convert to into all the stuff he wants and extra weapons of the right type. I doubt that.

The pattern for a paragon path is: one extra encounter attack power at 11th level, one extra utility power at 12th level, and one extra daily attack power at 20th level. In addition to that, the paragon path grants 3 "class features"; two gained at 11th level, and a third at 16th level.
Paragon multiclassing grants the extra encounter, utility, and daily powers at the same levels that a paragon path does, but instead of the 3 class features, you get the ability to swap out one of your at-will powers at 11th level. Doesn't seem like a fair trade to me... am I missing something here?

Is there some official response stating to this effect? I was under the impression that you can choose a PP from your multiclass to gain the features at 11th & 16th..

"A character who has taken a class-specific multiclass feat counts as a member of that class for the purpose of meeting prerequisites for taking other feats and qualifying for paragon paths."

Based on this, I believe you can gain the features of a multiclass by taking the PP.

You can choose a paragon path from either of your classes.
Or, if you have all 4 multiclassing feats, take paragon multiclassing (the very last section in feats) instead of a paragon path.

 

[Anthom]

Yeah, but if I read his response right he is saying you can't gain the features of a multiclass PP and trying to get clarification on that.

 

[UngainlyTitan]

One thing though , it seems that you cannot take any ranger paragon parht with warrioir of the wild as you do not get either the Archery or tow weapon fighting dstyles class features.

Also Note to whover is coding the site, my font colour defaulted to something no visible in a black background. Emm, who do I tell that to?

 

[Anthom]

Yeah, same problem here.. I am typing in wordpad then pasting into the chat box.

 

[Danceofmasks]

Dunno .. PM one of the moderators, maybe?
I've just been using ctrl-A (select all), then changing the colour in the toolbar.

I'm talking about paragon multiclassing, not about taking a paragon path from your second class. See p.209 of the PHB.
