[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8778439, member: 2209"] I found 4e feat and paragon multiclassing to be a mixed bag. I played a 4e ranger feat multiclassed into wizard and it was fun but I recognized the sub par power cost in a very finely tuned balanced system. A straight ranger could have been more mechanically powerful than a staff fighting ranger wizard with scorching bursts and lightning bolt. The level 1 feat is very strong, giving a bonus themed weak encounter power (a wizard at will as an encounter power for the wizard one). Plus qualifying as the multi-class for feats and such. The next three are just straight equal level power swaps of your original class for one from the multiclass. This is the one where the powers are all balanced well so they are basically equivalent power wise, but you are down three feats compared to non-multiclassed characters. This is trading power for flavor and variety, a power downgrade. The paragon path multiclass is OK, but you are down the four dedicated prerequisite multiclass feats to get there while everyone else is equally powerful in their class stuff but has four bonus feats to power up with.
