I absolutely LOVE the idea of multiclassing as subclasses. I've been working on a similar system. I do think it needs a bit more tweaking as opposed to a standardized system but it's a start.Way too complex IMO. I would like to suggest an idea I've used in the past with a lot of success:
Second class as Subclass (or SCAS )
As I said in another thread, "don't do it the bad way."That is a neat idea, but problem is that various classes have various power levels of sub class features.
With your suggestion, paladins would jump to multiclass with anything.
Again, it definitely needs some TLC to get it right but it can be done and it's an incredible elegant way to handle multiclassing.
