Message: <blockquote data-quote="ECMO3" data-source="post: 9778679" data-attributes="member: 7030563">Out of the hundred or so PCs I've played in 5E only one PC that I played past level 3 did not multiclass (that PC was a Kender Conquest Paladin who ended at level 7).I find multiclass characters to be far more fun and versatile in play.  There are tradeoffs certainly, but I find weaknesses can generally be mitigated.For example I am playing a Elemental Eye Warlock-Eldritch Knight right now.  At level 7 she is a Warlock 4/Fighter 3 and is a primary melee character.  You would think I am way behind due to no extra attack, but I am not.  She has both a pact Longsword and Shillelagh and her Agonizing Green Flame Blade with Shillelagh does 1d10+4 Force plus another extra 1d8+4 fire damage to the primary target and 1d8+8 if another target is within 5 feet, while also rerolling 1s on Fire damage due to the Flames of Phelethegos feat and having topple mastery on a sword and board.  She can change to a pact Longsword which drops weapon damage to 1d8+4 (still does the same fire) but gets sap and has options for Necrotic, Psychich or Radiant damage.  She has mastery and a fighting style and action surge (although admittedly that is not as good as on a single class) and she has a bunch of cool spells on top of that.  She has a 23 AC and the shield spell a couple times a day for 28 if she has a chance to stow her weapon.  With Flames of Phelethegos + Armor of agathys + Hellish Rebuke at 2nd level, while rerolling 1s, she can deal out around 30 damage off turn when someone does get a hit  through on her high AC.</blockquote>
