Advanced classes and variant multiclassing - class to half class

[James Gibbons]

I remember in the beta for advanced class guide the rule was you could not multiclass with one of the half classes. IE a swashbuckler could not multiclass with fighter.
I believe this rule changed. I can't find where in RAW it says it but I remember something along the lines of you can but it would often be redundant.

First question, can a hybrid class by raw multiclass or not multiclass with one of its core/base classes?

Second question, if they can does this mean they can variant multiclass with one of their core/base classes.

Ie would I be able to be swashbuckler/ secondary class fighter.

The "no multiclassing" line was removed in the release. Hybrid classes can now multiclass with their parent classes. They can do the same with variant multiclassing.

Your swashbuckler should be fine. ^_^

Parent Classes: Each of the following classes draws upon two classes to form the basis of its theme. While a character can multiclass with these parent classes, doing so usually results in redundant abilities. Such abilities don't stack unless specified. If a class feature allows the character to make a one-time choice (such as a bloodline), that choice must match similar choices made by the parent classes and vice-versa (such as selecting the same bloodline).
