House rule for overlapping class bonus feats?


Homebrew and House Rules


Specifically do people have a house rule for cases where a multiclass character gets the same ability or feat from two (or more) classes?

Uncanny Dodge usually has specific language about what to do but most other cases do not. The two that I can see happening are

- improved unarmed strike from multiple sources (some clerics, unarmed fighter archetype and monk). It is relatively minor but I can see a cleric of Irori or the empyreal lord that has unarmed strike multiclassing as a monk (or an unarmed fighter or both) and as a DM I kinda would want to reward such a character in some small way. A full feat as an alternative seems a bit overpowered but perhaps if constrained to something like the monk bonus feats? (Though I might not let a monk with an archetype take a bonus feat from their archetype as say many more style feats might get overpowered)

- evasion. Granting early improved evasion seems fairly powerful is there anything that people do or do they just figure that a multiclass character comes with some drawbacks which can include overlaps?


That is a cool idea, I might just have to use that.
