Just don't; it is all hot garbage.  (in core 5e, past level 5 fighter is because of level 11 extra attack(3), here it is so far away you should just dip for better).2) More than 1-2 levels of Rogue.  Your main class feature is turned to crap at 1/2 comparable advancement.3) Monks.  You have no Ki.  Ki is your life.4) Be cautious of spellcasters, especially partial casters.  Don't expect to do damage as a spellcaster, you'll suck at it.Rages/day aren't big, and rage damage is small compared to reckless attack."3 level" remain strong; a 2 level dip does what a 3 level dip used to do pretty much (except spell slots).The key level for martial characters is 3 where you get extra attack.  Don't MC two level 3+ martial characters.  At level 3, martial characters are going to be beasts, way outdamaging anyone else with raw smacks to the point of making combat trivial.---Not sure if Hexadin still works.  Paladin 1 gives you smite, Paladin 3 would get you extra attack, then hex 2 gives you great weapon-on-cha.   But you really lack smite fuel.With ASI shortage, 2 H weapons are less tempting.  Paladin 1/Hex 1/Sorc X might have enough smite fuel if your game has short adventuring days.</blockquote>
