Is Paizo going to stick with the multiclassing penalty. I sure hope not. Also, is Paizo going to consider a vehicle by which monks and paladins can multiclass? While I don't mind allowing monks and paladins to multiclass freely, I can accept that they can't. But if they can't, then they should have a feat, like Monastic Training from Eberron's Campaign Setting, to allow for multiclassing. Reason being that I don't see a particular issue with a monk/druid or a monk/cleric . . . or even a monk/fighter. Likewise, a paladin/cleric or a paladin/fighter don't seem too far fetched. Heck, I'd even say the monk/sorcerer and monk/psion are pretty realistic extensions of monastic principles of body/soul/mind.
