Levels 1-3 PCs aren't weak.  That's a subjective opinion.  They don't get all the bells and whistles until level 3, but that doesn't make them weak.  Just weaker than later on.  In a historical context of D&D, a level 1 PC in 5e is still pretty robust.  Maybe not as robust as a level 1 PC in 4e, but 4e is a pretty short time period in the history of D&D3. Those levels weren't designed to be weaker to balance multi-classing per se, but to allow those gamers (and there are a lot of them) who prefer the "zero to hero" model.  That's also why you progress in those levels so fast, and why people who don't like that model can easily start at level 3 if that's how their table wants to play.  They were also designed that way to give players a feel for how the class played before being locked into a specific archetype that usually happens at level 3.  There was an element to prevent level dipping from min/maxers, but that wasn't the reason why they designed those levels like they did.</blockquote>
