Part of that could include the weapon focus question as well. Maybe that will get addressed in PHB3 (with focused expertise and the monk dealing with weapon that doubles as an implement stuff, they can hopefully give specific unambiguous rule about what does or doesn't apply to the "other" keyworded types of powers (and then specific exceptions can be made with individual items or feats if need be). EDIT: On the subject of multiclass feats - Not exactly an "updated to PHB3" suggestion, although they have made more feats with multiple skill options in the X Power books, would be to slightly change the way the multiclass feats work. Instead of giving "Skill training + X", basically have it give a bonus feat of either skill training, or if you are already trained in that skill, you can get Skill Focus. Double dipping as a paladin/cleric means you have received extra training and know your religious stuff even better. The "bonus feats" would be like the Ritual casting you get for free for some classes, or the two multiclass feats you can get for the one epic bard feat.</blockquote>
