Multitalented question

[Hobit of Bree]

Quick question: You can take multitalented even if you already have another archetype dedication. But does taking it prevent you from taking another archetype later? Seems weird, but RAW that's how I'm seeing it.

[Cordell Kintner]

yes it does. You would have to fulfill both dedication feat's requirements before picking a third.

Seems weird that order matters. So if I have an archetype already, I can use this and have two.

But if I take this first, I can't later take an archetype until I finish that archetype.

Don't see the need for the lack of symmetry, but I agree it's RAW.

But why would you take Multitalented when you haven't already taken an applicable dedication feat?

I guess maybe because it is an ancestry feat slot, and getting a class feat in place of an ancestry feat is decent? But yeah it seems like that is not the typical use case.

Half-Elf can get around ability requirements.

To trade an Ancestry Feat, rather than a Class Feat, for the Dedication . . .

I would also allow retraining a lower level feat to the dedication and then retraining the level 9 ancestry feat to Multitalented to pick up the second dedication. Even if the character was already level 9+.

Though like David knott 242 said, I don't see why you would want to take Multitalented unless you already had a Dedication feat that you hadn't paid off yet.
