D&D 5E Hybrid type Multiclassing in 5e?

[Thalionalfirin]

Sorry if it's been addressed elsewhere.

I haven't had the opportunity to download the new packet yet, but I was wondering if there were any provision for 1e style multiclassing (sort of like 4e hybrid) in the latest release?

My favorite character back in the day was a multiclass fighter/thief in 1e. Any way to recreate a character like that? I tried to do it in 3e but didn't like way it turned out. Having to alternate levels didn't seem to work well,

The current MC rules are 3.x with some adjustments for casters.

Yes, a Fighter/Thief is perfectly doable in D&D Next, and a pretty decent combination. You'd have to increase a level in fighter, then a level of thief, then a level in fighter, then thief, etc. as you gain levels. But all your proficiencies would advance at the same rate as a single-class character.

Hopefully, some subclass of Fighter or Rogue will do the job...

While the rules don't provide the option, you could make a rule where you get class features from both classes at the same time, but only ever other level. (hit points and the like would increase every level, though).
