[QUOTE="Bardbarian, post: 7203133, member: 6802784"] MC characters are neither stronger or weaker than single class in this edition. The main difference you might see is the "sweet spots" move around depending on the build. While a single class character tends to gain strength in noticable bounds at levels 5/11/17, a multiclass character might seem stronger at odd levels like 4/7/14 (randome examples based on some of my characters) This is going to happen with almost any class combination unless its poorly built where the peaks might be even fewer and more spread out. What MC gives in this edition is a way to add tricks to your bag with the expense of a later opportunity cost. Dips are usually not a proble with the strongest usually being fighter 2 or warlock 2 in many builds but the delay of spell levels or attack progression really does mitigate this in most cases. The end result having played many multi and single class characters is that I find the power levels to be comparable with most of the strongest characters I have played with being single class, while the more fersatile characters tend to be multiclass. It ends up being a fairly balanced choice based upon personal play style rather than any particular power concerns. Most of the builds people call out as breaking the balance only do so in theory and when solo. When a group is working together the strength of each character tends to lend itself to the whole and diffuse throughout the group. [/QUOTE]
