Why can't you have more than one multi-class feat?

[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4652106, member: 710"] I think, thundershot, your "real" question is more: "Why can't I pick multiclass feats for my own class". The answer would usually be: Because you're only getting stuff you already have. But there are exceptions. In those cases, it depends on the special case if it can be "broken" to create a new feat that gives the power you wanted. In the case of Prime Shot, I don't think it would be broken to hand out a feat for it. I think a feat that gives at-wills of your class as encounter power (some Multiclass feats do that) might be broken, especially if you can pick multiple ones of them (and in addition to multiclass feats). A Warlock being able to pick a feat for an extra daily Inspiring Word could stack this with a Healing Word from the Cleric, for example. With regular multiclassing, he couldn't get that much. That's how Rules discussion often work. There is one relatively straightforward path to understand the rules, but it _can_ be understood differently and certain ommisions or formulizations can introduce things that the "straightforward" path doesn't seem to imply. The problem is there are cases where the straightforward path does not cover everything as intended. Generally speaking, I go by this: If a rule interpretation seems to result in a rule being redundant or useless, it's probably the wrong interpretation. If there are no other interpretation possible, the rule itself is broken and you should probably ask/check for errata. ;) [/QUOTE]
