Way to good not to do and had many broken combos. 1E and 2E were not true muticlassing either unless you were a specific race and had level caps. dual Classing made you give up your previous class.D&D is a class based game. 3E tried to go to an almost classless version. 4E wants to keep the class firmly present. The multiclass feats are weak by design. Heroic tier characters should be very undifferentiated. With the mc feats you open up other paragon paths, not the mc path. This is where the multiclass happens. Nifft has done up a dwarven infernal warlock into Iron Vanguard that is a frontline combatant not a distance striker, but is no more powerful than a straight warlock or rogue.Mearls has said that you could almost get a classless with 4E. Everything is a power, just pick from the grab bag. The game that would result would be very different than D&D. Laissez-faire multiclassing was sacrificed for balance. I am glad to see it gone, but mourn its passing with you.</blockquote>
