[QUOTE="JohnSnow, post: 4055877, member: 32164"] Well, you know what they say. Great minds think alike and all that. ;) I actually think the only downside of the SWSE multiclassing rules is the inability to be "multiclassed" at 1st-level. It works fine in SWSE for Force characters, since Force use isn't completely tied to a particular class as to particular "feats" (Force Sensitive and Force Training). So you can dabble in the Force without multiclassing. That might work really well for a system intended to model the way magic works in, say, [i]The Wheel of Time[/i], but isn't how it works in standard D&D. The logical answer is to allow people to pick up training by blowing a feat. And there's already a feat that [i]kinda[/i] does that - the "Martial Training" feat from [i]Tome of Battle[/i]. My guess is that "Wizard Training" for example, lets you use a feat to pick up a single wizard power. And so on. It might even be the case that a fighter that wanted to be multifaceted could take a "Fighter Training" feat to get more fighter powers. Since the real currency of power limit is "actions," it doesn't seem to me that it would be terribly overpowering if a character could trade feats for powers. Sure, he'd have more options, but so what? Does that make any sense? [/QUOTE]
