A multiclassing idea to discuss.

What if a character who multiclassed in this way got the class features of the new class instead of any Paragon Class features, maybe even at equivalent levels.

For example, a Wizard who took the four (!) feats and multiclassed into Fighter would get Combat Challenge and Fighter Weapon Talent at 11th level, and Combat Superiority at 16th level.

What do you guys think?

Aug 02, 2008 9:37:46 The problem is bleed. When you can be two classes at once with no "downside" there is always the argument that you are "better" than any single-class character.

But MAD is going to approximate a pretty good downside. I think the best upgrade that has been discussed is the "Personalized Paragon Path" route. Whaer all classes have a unique Multiclass Paragon path.
