Paragon Paths from your multiclass

[Kegas76]

Am I missing something or is ranger the only class you can't multiclass into and take a paragonpath?

Clerics, paladins, fighters, rogues, warlords and wizards only require being a member of the class which is covered by multiclassing. A warlock's paragon path is tied to his pact and the mutliclass feat lets you choose a pact. A ranger's paragon path requires a fighting style which is choosen as a class feat but Warrior of the Wild only provides you with the Hunter's Quarry class feature.

I understand that they wouldn't want to give both Hunter's Quarry and the fighting styles because the fighting styles offer a free feat built in so why didn't they give the style instead of HQ for the multiclass feat?

The answer is likely to be "see the Martial Powers book" when it comes out. But yes as it stands what you say is true.

Warlock PPs, currently, are largely useless as well since the Warlock multiclass does not give you any ability at Cursing, and all Warlock PPs base their abilities off of the Curse.

Some Wizard PPs (specifically Spiral Tower) lose out if you are just a multiclass Wizard.

Some of it, you could just house rule (I likely would if a player asked), and others will hopefully be fixed with different multiclass feats/PPs.

Nope, you're not missing anything.

Warlocks have the opposite problem: you can take the paragon paths, but they're painfully underpowered if you can't Curse anyone.

One of my players, a Fighter, has his heart set upon Stormwarden. So, I let him have a variant "Warrior of the Wild"; instead of Hunter's Quarry, he's got the ability to wield a one-handed weapon in his off-hand. (Just to be clear, he doesn't also get Toughness as a bonus feat; otherwise nobody would ever take Toughness.)

So far, it hasn't caused any problems, but I expect Martial Power might offer a similar feat which I will have him replace it with.
