[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8789042, member: 58172"] It seems doable to take several subclasses within the same class. Start off as a Swashbuckler Rogue, then switch back and forth between Swashbuckler and Trickster. Or any subclass combo. It is doable because, the first level of a subclass is a surprisingly small amount of design space. It balances when taking the small design space of a Swashbuckler then the small design space of a Trickster. Of course, to do so, delays the higher level subclass features that come later. But that is how multiclassing works. To take an other class as a subclass is a more challenging design. The level 1 of a class is frontloaded, with a bunch of features going on at the same time. In order to take an other class as a subclass, one would need to decide which small feature from that class is the most salient one. For example, suppose a Rogue took Bard as a subclass. It is a dilemma to decide if such a Bardic Rogue would want some of the spellcasting or some of the Inspiration, for the small amount of subclass design space available. [/QUOTE]
