Do multi class benefits stack?
For instance, if I went ranger 5/fighter 5, do I get two extra attacks and to pick fighting style twice?

No, the "extra attack" does not stack, just like in actual play. Larian kept this in their version.

You do get an extra fighting style though.

- This is my question. Monk 5/Fighter 5 do I get :

1) Primary attack (every character has)
2) Monk Extra attack (unarmed)
3) Fighter Extra attack (if I use a weapon? or )
3 attacks before I even get into bonus actions?

Then bonus actions etc as normal.

@ Smargog: Both get the extra attack as melee classes, but they won't stack. As for the monk extra unarmed attack, yes you get it. So you'll have the primary 2 melee actions + a punch/flurry for a bonus.

Even with armour on and while using a weapon and shield you can do a flurry of blows. Only thing you won't get from your monk class with that config is the extra movement and monk wisdom ac, but you can still use your ki abilities fine.

Also if you try to do monk barbarian, you'll only get one unarmored AC bonus, whichever is higher from your constitution or wisdom.

Multi-class is always, empirically, a nerf. Don't don it.

The extra attack feature doesn't stack.
The only exception to this is a warlock pact of the blade's extra attack (Since it's technically a different feature called Thirsting Blade). That will stack with others for their bound weapons. This does make the 7/5 Paladin/Warlock combination very strong, but you can substitute the paladin with another class if you like.

The only other way to get an 'extra' attack is to get the thief subclass for rogue at L3, which gives an extra bonus action to use an offhand attack with if you're dual wielding or a monk, or using a hand crossbow.

@The1Kobra In 5e Thirsting Blade doesn't stack with Extra Attack even though they don't share a name. It's on pg 163 of the PHB. In BG3 you don't get Thirsting Blade at all since the extra attack is worked into the Pact of the Blade automatically

Stop multi-classing. It negatively impacts the environment.

Except it doesn't.

I beg to differ, friend. I gave noted reckless attack and GWM addict Karlach a lovely Action Surge for her birthday and she just turns things into goo in combat.
