But they both have pros and cons:MulticlassingHouse Rule I Already Use: You don't have to blow feats just to swap out for a E/D/U power. If you have a MC feat, you get the option automatically.Pro: Simple. No mucking about with fractional hit points, hybrid talents or whathaveyou.Pro: It's mostly balanced. MC feats kinda make Skill Training a second-class option, though.Con: MCing is a bit limited, I guess. It's a dash of difference, rather than a dollop.HybridingPro: Seems to be popular in the online community, though I've only seen one in play. I guess a lot of players want to have a dollop of difference.Con: PHB3 outright says "WARNING: you might seriously frack up your PC." I Also suspect that there are a few cheese options that hybriding opens up.Con: Much more involved than MCing. I have a player who's expressed interest in being a fighter|beastmaster, and I know he'd frack up the math and probably his character.*Although it may be a false one. I could allow both. Or I could invent a house ruled way to dual-class.</blockquote>
