[QUOTE="Warmaster Horus, post: 7055411, member: 6785438"] I've been on more of a class austerity kick in the past few months. My last three PCs are all still just single class - Monk, Swashbuckler and Fighter. My highest level PC has four (!) classes - Paladin, Fighter, Sorcerer and Barbarian. I wouldn't say that character deprives anyone else's character of a role, however. He is purely a fighter who uses spells for self-buffing and smiting. Sort of an early experiment of having a 'self-contained' PC in AL that could melee well, heal & remove nasty conditions from themselves and get cool magic buffs in combat (Misty Step, Blink, Shield, Bless, etc) regardless of party composition. Has been a blast to play but I doubt I'd do such a broadly composited character again. Two of my other PCs have just a one-level dip into something for flavor ... War Priest with 1 level of Sorcerer because the half-elf's other half is dragon & Wizard with one level of Knowledge Cleric of Mystra because he sees magic as a potential for all people to benefit from and not just to gain personal power. I've found that playing single-classed players is a challenge because they have less to work with. For example, my Fighter can only really escape a melee going badly for him by Disengaging and running. Whereas my Barbarian/Rogue can attack and still Disengage using Cunning Action and my Paladin/Fighter/Sorc/Barbarian can Misty Step away. However I'm finding I enjoy that challenge. [/QUOTE]
