[QUOTE="fluffybunbunkittens, post: 9462869, member: 7037492"] It wouldn't change that much. Casters start off as lv1 Fighter/Sorc, and then won't switch from their caster class, because it'd mess with their spell levels. People who want to cosplay as mobile turrets pick Warlock2 first, and then start levelling up whatever their main class will be, confident in that Eldritch Blast will take care of their combat contributions on its own, so they can pick literally any niche crap they want without letting the party down. Martials are [I]heavily[/I] incentivized to multiclass after lv5, but... You don't usually end up bouncing between two classes, because the reason you left the main class in the first place was because it didn't have enough stuff to offer... it won't miraculously be better when you come back to it. You'd be fine as Barbarian5/Fighter4/Rogue4... and tack on a Cleric4 at the end if you had to. Even something like 2024 Thief wanting to dip into Wizard/Cleric to get access to their scrolls (to use as a bonus action), would just mean they had to pick their lv1 as the caster class and then continue on as Rogue. It'd cost them a skill proficiency, but that's about it. The ones limited would be the 'I am picking stuff based on my feelings and what happened during this level' people doing it for the roleplay/story. [/QUOTE]
