[QUOTE="fearsomepirate, post: 8229978, member: 7021420"] Yeah, multiclassing is allowed in AL. While a lot of "ultimate" builds rely on a dodgy reading of the rules or 5-minute workdays, both of which are easily countered by a DM without invoking house rules, 2-dipping warlock is straightforward cheese. Aside from goofball builds, there's also been power creep in the expansions. As of Tasha's, Mountain Dwarf is +2 to any two abilities of your choice, darkvision, poison resistance, medium armor proficiency, and a pile of tools. While Mountain Dwarf used to be an interesting choice for a full caster, sacrificing INT/WIS/CHA to become harder to kill, it's now a top-tier racial choice for any caster, since now the only tradeoff is 25' move speed. XGtE introduced the aforementioned Hexblade and some overpowered Bard subclasses. Someone who isn't doing anything fancy, but comes to the table with splat classes instead of core classes, may make a newer player with just the PHB feel frustrated that he's completely outshone by that College of Swords bard or whatever.
