[QUOTE="plutocracy, post: 6383177, member: 67996"] Love the multiclassing in 5th, cool flavours and for those who love to make powerful characters you can coax small advantages out at higher levels with synergies but nothing game breaking. In past editions multi/prestige classing could be much more unbalancing! Powerful combos often only emerge at later levels in 5th, so multiclasses can be a bit less powerful than singles for 1/2 the campaign, and maybe a bit more powerful for the other 1/2. Either way, pure classes kick ass and are by no means outshined. So far, these combos appeal to me! Like others have said, paladin/warlock/fighter/sorc/bards mutli well together. Vengence Paladin 6/dragon sorc 14: 2 attacks, advantage on one baddy, wings, sweet saves from aura, shield spell, endless smites with plethora of spell slots, 9th level slot, heavy armor. Twin spell haste for you and a friend! Combine greatweapon fighting style, divine smite, searing smite, elemental affinity fire, elemental adept fire for a cool nova attack: 2d6+5d8+9d6+5+5, with rerolling all 1s and 2s, and the 1s on the searing smite count as 2s. So maybe around 80-100 damage for spending a 9th and 4th level slot? On a crit. reroll 2d6+9d6+5d8 for another 70-80! Similar, but more crit. dependent (saving smites for crits) is fighter 4 (champ)/paladin 6/sorc 10. Trade off less slots for +1 AC, action surge and 19-20 crit. Warlock2/fighter1/sorc17 is nice to, for flying death from above eldritch blast master than can nova well with higher level spells when needed, plus roll around with a sweet 28 AC (fulplate, shield, defense mastery, haste, shield spell). Sorc or Wiz 18/ Tempest cleric two for the super chain lightnings, healing, and heavy armor and overall coolness! Fighter 1/bard 19 can make a sweet arcane archer Paladin 12/bard 7/fighter 1 finesse fighter can be super tough with 28 AC (34 once per round with defensive duelist), shield mastery, aura of warding, and still do nice attacks with haste/improved smite/duelist feat Its hard for any single or multiclass not to seem cool.
