[QUOTE="Barolo, post: 7039566, member: 61932"] No problem, I can go over my own claims again. At low levels it does [B]not[/B] behave as "at will". I does cost a quite limited resource, as I mentioned in my example with the 5th level multiclass you chose not to quote. At high levels [B]yes[/B], you do have enough resources that you could keep doing that as if it was "at will", [B]but[/B] you probably have better things to do. I don't really understand where did you take I was comparing something to Wish. What I meant was to point out that in order to employ such tactic, the multiclass character is kept [B]one spell level below a full spellcaster throughout most of their careers[/B], which is a price to pay for the trick presented. I do not agree with that because even though a high level Warlock 2/Sorcerer X can effectively do this, it does have a cost, and it has drawbacks from the perspective of character development. You also mention on your post #6: Which to me seems to imply that the possibility of such is very negative to the game (I may be misunderstanding you, if that is the case I apologize in advance). What I am claiming, on the other hand, is that this is not even as good as full casters can do throughout their careers (even if not counting on strong "at wills"). And also that, at high enough levels when this tactic finally effectively behaves as "at will", the PC is probably better doing other things with their resources and combat rounds than spamming just that. Every round a 11 level Warlock 2/Sorcerer 9 spends casting double eldritch blast is a round they are not casting a 4th or 5th level spell, for instance. [/QUOTE]
