Not that probably many PCs have been already...I think the old idea of multiclassing is still to be more versatile at the expense of straightforward specialization: but just as in real life, an experienced physician or experienced engineer is more appreciated than someone who is "quite good" at both professions.Multiclassing between fighting classes is not IMHO the same. Since everything stacks, the reason why 99% of the players multiclass is to get the most juicy combo of the special abilities. Let's face it, how many players play Fighter/Barbarian, Fighter/Ranger, or Fighter/Barbarian/Ranger for the concept? They might find a concept behind, but that comes AFTER, to justify their choice, not as a motive.Multiclassing between a fighting class and a spellcaster is IMHO a wonderful source of ideas from the RP point of view, but unfortunately it will usually make you weaker, and multiclassing between spellcasters is even worse.Could it be because Saving Throws are level-dependent & spellcasting doesn't stack, while AC is not level-dependent & BAB stacks? Perhaps. Think of what it would be if AC increased with level just as ST, and BAB from other classes granted extra attacks/round but each with its own class BAB... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
