[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 8914166, member: 1210"] I play a cleric/fighter/magic-user in a friend's campaign. I'm currently 3/1/3, so if I was single classed I would have 4th level spells. However, instead, I have a character who always has a reaction for enemy attacks, who may be limited to 2nd level spells but who can maximize the damage of my chromatic orb or shatter, and who has a bunch of bonus action options, allowing me to have really good action economy. I have traded 4th level spells, or a fighter subclass features, for a very wide and versatile set of options (some custom/homebrewed) that let me focus on lightning, thunder, and action economy optimization. I'm a fairly tactical and analytical player, so having lots of options pays off for me. I am a good judge of when to e.g attack an enemy's AC vs. when to cast a spell against a given stat, I have a lot of ally-aiding things going on, and I am good at team work. I definitely don't feel underpowered; comparing myself to the party's other level 7 members, I feel like I come in less specialized, but very good at what I do. Every time I level up, I have a major debate over what class to take. Next time- coming probably after next session- I am leaning toward wizard, but I don't know... Action Surge is so amazing, I have to take fighter 2 at some point. For the record, I am a storm priest/divination wizard, and I haven't decided what fighter subclass to eventually take. [/QUOTE]
