[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7312764, member: 20564"] The biggest problem with multiclass characters is that while you can make perfectly good characters, it's also easy to unintentionally shoot yourself in the foot with a build that doesn't really come together until later levels. At 5th and to a lesser extent at 11th there is a power bump for the classes. If you delay that for several levels you can feel like you aren't contributing as much as others. The ASI advancement is by class level. Going 3 levels and then not taking the 4th for an ASI will leave you quite far behind in getting these. In a game without feats this becomes less important after your second ASI, but it's a big deal before then. Now, Eldritch Blast for Warlock advances on character level, so if you have that it will scale correctly for your level even if you aren't advancing Warlock. If you want to focus on that. All that said, fighter has a lot of low level goodies to cherry pick, and going Fighter first is a great idea for all of the reasons you listed. But I'd wait until I had my Warlock basics well settled (say 5th level) before going further up the fighter chart. EDIT: Have some welcome XP! Always good to have new posters. [/QUOTE]
