Message: <blockquote data-quote="James Gasik" data-source="post: 9596887" data-attributes="member: 6877472">Between both campaigns I'm involved in (one as DM and one as a player), I've seen a pure Bard, a pure Fighter, a Fighter/Rogue, a pure Barbarian, a pure Ranger, a pure Wizard, two pure Clerics, and both a multiclassed Monk/Rogue/Fighter and a multiclassed Sorcerer/Warlock.Some people want more versatility or feel that their current class is no longer giving them the benefits they desire.  There's downsides to multiclassing as well.  Extra Attack doesn't stack, multiclassed casters don't get new spells, ASI's are given at certain class levels, not character levels, so a Fighter 3/Rogue 3 still hasn't gotten one, proficiencies can be redundant, and you don't get all the proficiencies of new classes.Sure, there are a few decent combos, but you still have to pay the opportunity cost of not getting everything you want online until higher level.  Now if I were to start a game at a level higher than 3rd, I might be stricter about multiclassing, but until then, I have had more problems with pure single-classed full casters as a DM than I ever have with a multiclassed PC.</blockquote>
