[QUOTE="Ogre Mage, post: 6474813, member: 3404"] Great guide. Zardnaar hasn't finished the section on multiclassing yet so I though I'd ask about it myself. My group is in the tentative stages of planning a 5th edition game and I want to play a half-elf lore bard with a small dip in one other class. The campaign will run from level 1 to about level 13. The two options I am considering are Lore Bard 12/Cleric 1 and Lore Bard 11/Warlock 2. I was wondering what people thought about the comparative merits of these two approaches. In a nutshell it seems to me that a level dip in cleric compensates for the lore bard's poor AC/defenses while the 2 level dip in warlock compensates for the lore bard's poor damage dealing ability. The two level dip for warlock delays the bard progression more but OTOH it does not invoke multiple ability dependency whereas the Lore Bard/Cleric does. [/QUOTE]
