essentially making +1 LA templates to handle specific secondary class multiclassing.
Level 1 will be rough for many characters, as they will be side by side with level 2 characters and often having fewer hp than a 1st level straight classed character.
2/3 spellcasting for +1 LA is very attractive, it means the multiclasser will be at least a full level behind the straight classed full caster for those coveted top spell slots when going a theurge route but develop a decent secondary spellcasting ability.
A cleric secondary class fighter will have full cleric spell casting, d10 HD and 1/1 BAB and some bonus feats for +1 LA.
To test the balance and see if the LA is right, think of the extreme examples.
19th level cleric with +19/+14/+9/+4 BAB, 19th level cleric casting and turning, bunches of fighter bonus feats, 19d10 HD, compared with a 20th level fighter who has a few more feats, 1 more HD and BAB.
