Is there a reason why I shouldn't? Is there some grave danger to game balance I'm not catching?

If you want you can always make individual EDs that require multiclassing. In Martial Power, there's one that requires martial paragon multiclassing.

Feb 25, 2009 15:58:35 Yeah... I'm looking out for specific unbalanced things. People not wanting to multiclass isn't something I've really run into... I've more seen people not thinking multiclassing was worth the resources. If someone wants a specific destiny enough, they'll likely think it is worth the feat it takes to get into the class that allows it.
