[QUOTE="WarpedAcorn, post: 7028544, member: 6819400"] Like most people have said previously, its to fit a character concept. My character is the wandering Knight who does good deeds to atone for his past mistakes. He is a Cleric (Light) 1/ Fighter (Battlemaster) 5, and I would not consider dropping the Cleric level at all. He has made liberal use of Spare the Dying to save a majority of the NPC's to the point its slightly annoyed the party. Also, having the option to use Sacred Flame and have a magical ranged attack is incredibly useful to me. Now, as I approach Character Level 7 I am faced with a few choices. Do I stick with Fighter or do I further Multi-Class? My primary role in the group is as the Tank / Harasser. I have Shield Mastery, so I knock enemies down and get all up in their faces while my party (all spellcasters) drop the artillery...sometimes on me too. For future levels I can continue with the Fighter for more ASI's and Extra Attacks. I can dip into Barbarian for Rage (I'm typically not using any spells in combat) to get Resistance to all that damage I'm taking. Or I can dip into Ranger to get things like another Fighting Style, Hunter's Mark, and maybe even a Beastmaster pet to help Tank. So there are some choices that can definitely help make my character better at what he does that exist outside of the Class skills. That being said, I can see where full Spellcasters would be apprehensive about level dips and delaying access to higher level spells. But even so, dipping out for a few levels in another class might give you something that completely changes the way you play. A small dip into Sorcerer for Metamagics might outweigh having a 9th level spell, given that this adds new options to all other spells. Its a tough call, and definitely one that's difficult to quantify. [/QUOTE]
