Greetings,
Immune to Magic is a Minor power that should be treated as a Major power on magic rich environments... Is Nightbane a magic rich environment for this purpose?

Greetings,
Can someone point me to the where the rules are for multiple O.C.C.s? and the rules for changing O.C.C.'s?
I have seen a lot of theoretical optimization threads, where it is mentioned "being a Sea Inquisitor" on top of other classes, but no rules for it.
