[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7048929, member: 6795602"] By and large 5e offers few choices at character development. A fighting style here a few spells there etc. The only major choice you have is what class to play and since there often is overlap between what characters the classes can represent you may have a few choices there. IMO just because someone finds an in game justification to do something or gives one in their background or etc. doesn't mean they have let the character organically develop. If true organic development was the concern then you would see about the same number of Fighter 4/Wizard 1 as you do Fighter 5/Wizard 1 and Fighter 6/Wizard 1 and Fighter 1/Wizard 4 and Fighter 1/Wizard 5. But you don't see anywhere near the same. So you are right that it can be blurred. Someone can find a reason or justification for taking levels in some other class. It generally isn't hard to. But their choices on when they take those levels betrays them as checking on the mechanics before taking the multiclass plunge which means that they aren't just multiclassing organically. [/QUOTE]
