[QUOTE="Keenath, post: 4056848, member: 59792"] Why do you say so? It actually makes a lot of sense to have two methods -- we've heard about class training feats, but... can you really imagine that they'd take a step backward into a system where your 1st level class selection IS YOUR CLASS AND YOUR ONLY CLASS until you die? No, no, no. The two methods are entirely sensical. Look at it: Class training lets you pick up a few powers without really delving into that type of ability. You can be a fighter and remain a fighter while picking up a few backstabby type rogue abilities to boost your damage when you have combat advantage. Or you can be a rogue who has a few arcane-magic tricks if things get a little too hot. By contrast, a rogue that takes a full level of wizard doesn't get one trick -- he gets a number of low-level wizard powers and also a "talent" or equivalent. For example, a Class Training rogue could take a fireblast power, while a rogue/wizard multiclass could have fireblast AND a short-range teleport AND an ability that lets him turn his fireblast into an iceblast if he needs to. In fact, you could even see Class Training used to focus rather than multiclass -- a warlock may well be able to take Warlock Training to increase his power selection, much like the Extra Invocation feat they have right now. As far as who's most popular -- I think all the classes will have popular "class training" options, but for actual multiclassing, probably wizard and rogue. [/QUOTE]
