[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 6382767, member: 5889"] There is something to be said here. 3e and 4e, there were several ways to boost the damage of a single attack, so while secondary attacks are useful they aren't as important. At least so far, 5e's primary damage boost seems driven on multiple attacks....at least until higher levels in certain classes (such as the 8th level cleric +1d8 damage on an attack). The only martial class that focuses on the single attack is the rogue. I think what would be interesting to see is what people can do buildwise with a single attack martial character at 6th level. What single attack focuses can they dig out of the multiclass rules that would keep up with the multiattack martial? That said, I would rather the multiclass rules start out a bit on the weak side than the other way around. Flexibility always has the greater potential for abuse, and people I think will start to find those combination "gems" as time goes it. [/QUOTE]
