[QUOTE="Hatmatter, post: 9492717, member: 75077"] I think, though, in thinking this through with everyone, a consensus is developing wherein the ability to acquire en Epic Boon Feat at 19+ [I]total character level[/I] is the intent, so -- based upon the conversation in this thread -- I am not with you that there is an exploit occurring here. It's funny. I have enjoyed the multiclassing rules for 5th edition D&D better than any of the previous versions. You have expressed how negatively you regard them a few times here, so I know you disagree. But, to me, back in 2014, the writers of the game hit upon a way to provide for a way for players to fulfill all kinds of different character concepts through multiclassing, but without breaking the game. Further, it is simple. Different strokes for different folks I suppose. It seems with all of the Youtube videos on character building that use multiclassing, it is popular with others as well. The reason I do not have any issue with there being certain ways of multiclassing that result in 2 Epic Boons at 20th level is that, first, we are discussing a game here and there are always funky little elements like that in a game (they are even fun to play with), and second, for those using multiclassing and feats for the past ten years, leveling up in certain classes to certain levels has [I]always[/I] been a consideration if one wanted regular feats (unless fighter, one would want to hit 4th, 8th, 12th, or 16th in a class in order to be able to acquire feats). That was never an issue for me before. So, right now, the leveling options for acquiring a second Epic Boon at 20th level are 12/8, 16/4, 12/4/4, 8/8/4, 8/4/4/4 (wild), and 4/4/4/4/4 (crazy). I am sure there are all kinds of interesting character class combinations that do not use those and I am sure not having a second Epic Boon is not that big of a deal for those players, especially given that Epic Boons continue to be available at 21st level and beyond.
