Multiclassing is terrible..why are people so obsessed..

[Fast]

The cap is level 12... there is barely any multi classes that will be better than a normal level 12 class and even those that work are niche as hell. (there are some but very few)

Most multi classing works only works with level 15+ caps.

So whats the point and why does anyone care?
Is it just randoms that hear buzzword and get excited or what?

[wtiger27]

If it helps some players enjoy the game more, then it is not terrible. It's a single player game after all.

because making builds is fun! Even if an idea doesn't work out it can be interesting putting all the pieces together and seeing what might happen.

Also this is the first edition of D&D when martial classes aren't massively weaker than spellcasting ones, in other editions you pretty much needed to multiclass, and old habits die hard

I beg to differ. Pal 6 Champ 3 Totem 3 is going to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wild.
Pal 3 Warlock 9 as well.
Gloomstalker Assasin? Yup.
Monk + any rogue? Yes please.
Warlock + Sorcerer? uh huh.

[Nani!?!?]

Barbariter? Fightbarian? Fightbarian sounds better lol

It could totally work, but there are tradeoffs that don't make it clear if one choice is better than the other

A Barbarian with Action Surge and higher chance of crits is pretty nice, but you lose Relentless Rage among other things, which is a pretty powerful ability (especially if you can get ADV to CON saves somehow, like through a buff spell)

Multiclassing can be a trap, but not for that reason. Most campaigns in practice aren't breaking level 12-ish anyway. If your multiclass build doesn't work until level 15, your multiclass build is bad. Multi for the journey, not some theoretical destination.

Damn dude, do you even DnD?

[fenlander]

It is all down to min/maxing builds. Something a lot of players of DnD like to do where they enjoy hitting the big numbers over roleplaying.

As a GM for DnD if a Paladin player stated they were multiclassing into Warlock, I would reply "So you're giving up your god and making a deal with a devil? That means you loose all your divine powers, or face retribution from your old god."

Obligatory "5e paladins aren't beholden to a specific god" reply.

.. The Paladin one is a big no.. The Warlock Paladin multiclass (specifically hexblade variant) is considered one of the strongest combos in 5e TT.

Because it doesn't matter if you don't make the most powerful character you possibly can, it matters more that you have fun and enjoy your game.

The more options a player has, the more chance of that player finding what they enjoy.

If it was PvP it'd make sense to go min/max but it's a single-player game with Co-op.
