[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7202749, member: 20564"] My biggest experience with 5e multiclassing is that you have to be careful not to accidentally make a character who falls behind a single class character, mostly because of ASIs being linked to class level plus being slower to get to the class power bumps at 5th and 11th. That said, the most cherry-pickable options if you want to watch out for them: Warlock 2-3 - Eldritch Blast goes by character level, so if you have a good charisma you can become a good ranged combatant that will scale. Then just take levels of whatever you want to go up in. Cleric 1 - the domains give armor and weapon proficiencies as class features, so they are ways to get heavy armor and martial weapons even if it's not your first class level. Oh, I also see Life cleric + a class that has some healing to get better healing .... and I'm perfectly happy with that. Fighter 1-3 - fighter just is a good package, and there are enough goodies at each level to make it worth grabbing a bit if it fits with your main class. But its not really broken, just quite nice. Mearls has told us that UAs are before the pass that worries about multiclass balance and other polish, so I'd be leary of allowing UA subclasses and multiclassing. The UA Revised Ranger is a good example of this, the 1st level abilities are very nice if you could cherry-pick them for another class. [/QUOTE]
