D&D 5E Has Anyone Seen the Following Builds?

Goodness gracious, splitting yourself between four classes? Sounds like a nightmare, even if the Hexblade was only a single level.

It’s shockingly mediocre; you can smite, you have like 9 cantrips, you’re almost entirely charisma based, and after a while you get really good at counterspelling.

The concept was an eladrin swordmage who would switch styles as she switched seasons; in practice the season didn’t have much impact. If I wanted to play her again I’d create a custom subclass.

I've seen several Hexblade Warlock/Paladins, and also just Paladin/Warlock multi-classes in general. I have also seen Divine Soul Sorcerers/Clerics as well.

No surprise I think the EK requires a bit of system mastery.

We had an eldritch knight in our HoDQ/SKT campaign played by a player who prefers simple straightforward builds in general. He played a Drow Eldritch Knight specialized/feats in crossbow (augmented by Artificier infusions), where, after awhile, he rarely, rarely missed multiple shots with his crossbow, and did reasonable damage, plus poisons, and the spell usage was more a ‘for fun’ or backup sort of thing.

Yeah that build might gave been better as a different build. Still any figher+cbe works well enough.

I haven't either. We do have a sorcerer/warlock but that's it.

Same - one of very few multiclass characters I've ever seen played significantly was Sorcerer/Warlock. Seen none of the combos up top.

Fighter 2/Wizard xyz

Sure, until they took extra levels in fighter because the party needed more melee.

But even when it was F2 it worked out just fine. Though note the group was not maximizers, and though they could outclass the daily encounters per the DMG, it was mainly from strong tactics and working together, not min/max builds.

Never seen any of these, they mostly come up as theorycrafting on the internet than as actual builds amongst my circles of players.

Yeah that's my theory as well outside hexblade dip.

Yep, I've seen a Fighter 2 dip on a Wizard (Abjurer). I've also seen that two-level Fighter dip on a Warlock (Hexblade) and a Paladin (Oath of the Ancients), too. The Action Surge is just too good to pass up, I guess?

Yeah. I think that's the Elritch Knight/Paladin.

If you really need to nova action surge, 4 attacks and smites.
