Do you multiclass for raw mechanical power or for character reasons?

[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7389384, member: 6803664"] If I'm multi-classing it's for character/story reasons. I've not [I]yet[/I] MCd in 5e. To date the closest I've come is: [B]A)[/B] There was a week or two in our CoS campaign where it looked likely that my warlock & her patron were not going to continue their relationship. The warlocks personality was being corrupted by a fragment of an evil wizards spirit residing in a crystal staff she'd found. I was actively pondering wether the warlock would seek out a new patron or MC into actual wizard. I was leaning wizard. Fortunately the DM realized that if that happened it'd pretty much ruin a character that brings a lot of fun to the game as-is & he allowed the other characters to preform an exorcism. If he hadn't though I'd be playing a fairly unhappy warlock7/wizard1+.... [B]B)[/B] I have a now 2nd lv fighter (criminal) that I play occasionally who has the Magic Initiate feat. Before becoming an adventurer he was on a smash & grab job. One of the things he grabbed was an ancient amulet that burst into flame, burning him severely. Upon recovering he discovered that he had limited fire based powers, could speak/understand "fire"(IE; Ignan), & occasionally hears a voice in his head (speaking Ignan). He suspects he's got part of a Fire Elemental stuck in him.... I'm debating wether to have him go Eldritch Knight or MC into warlock. Or maybe both eventually. Now in our PF campaigns? The last 3 characters I've played have all been MCd. [B]1)[/B] A human Bard/Wizard. He got fed up with the extremely slow pace of study at the very prestigious Elven Academy of Magic & dropped out to seek adventure. So he started as a Bard to show elf oriented studies & his reduced spell casting thanks to dropping out. Every few lvs of bard I switch & add in another lv of actual wizard. He's improving as a wizard - just slowly & a bit haphazardly. Wich is still leaps & bounds faster than the mostly elven classmates he left behind..... [B]2)[/B] A human Cavelier/Hellknight. The character has [I]always[/I] been a Hellknight. But thanks to that being a prestige class in PF your forced to MC into it from something else. Cavelier as base was what best represents the character. [B]3)[/B] A Tiefling Wizard-14 (divination)/Paladin-1 Very very late in the campaign the Tiefling converted to LG & took up the mantle of Paladin. This is so far from the optimal mechanical choice that somewhere some optimizers heart is seizing up in their chest. And becoming a paladin going into 15th lv was not at all how even I'd envisioned my crapply statted (other than Int.) wizard advancing. But this where the story led. So. [/QUOTE]
