[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7028649, member: 6689161"] My favorite class in 5e has been the Warlock and exclusively the Blade Pact version. I am fine with playing this as a single class. That should show that I am not worried about being outclassed per se, though even here I think most concerns are overblown. So for me, there is little need to drop feats or multiclassing. I am not terribly worried about MOAR POWER per se, but I see many, many complaints about balance. I would really like to know how many of those who struggle with balance have tried a more basic game. My guess is that few have tried. I am really wondering from a design standpoint if the game is more balanced and polished in its basic form. Frankly, I wonder if the design team focused on balance of single classed characters with multiclassing an afterthought. I don't desire to test this out. I like getting a feat here and there and (gasp) added one level of sorcerer (gasp!) to a warlock because I had a hankering for additional spell slots. Other times I did not feel it was a fit and went single classed. [/QUOTE]
