[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 9636558, member: 2629"] I also am not sure how to answer here... usually, a multiclass is character driven. I occasionally have an initial plan that is likely to involve multiclassing, but usually it is organic. Where it the PC going? What are they doing? How is the campaign unfolding? Here are my recent multiclassing characters: Nightmare Druid: Warlock 1 (Undead) / Moon Druid 11 - The idea from the start was to have a Moon Druid that was corrupted and transforms into tainted creatures. Form of Dread, Enlarge, Fire Shield, on top of an animal form = fun. I designed the multiclass from level 3 (we started at 3) with Warlock 1 / druid 2. Archer: Variant Tiefling Gloom Stalker 5, Cleric of Order 1, Divine Soul 7, Battlemaster 4, Assassin 3 - This PC started as a Ranger that believed that Asmodeus was a necessary evil and did everything necessary to fight the Blood War. This grew into being a preacher for Asmodeus (Cleric and Divine Sorcerer levels) which resulted in her becoming a holy assassin for the order (Battlemaster / Assassin). I had no plan for leveling up and just went with the storyline that made sense. Soradin+: Dark Elf (Drow) Vengeance Paladin 8 / Zealot Barbarian 4 / Fighter 2 / Shadow Sorcerer 5 / Hexblade Warlock 1 - This PC again had no plan and just added levels as the story dictated. For example, I took a level of Hexblade after finding a powerful evil sentient weapon and negotiating with it repeatedly - the level itself granted me nearly no benefits (access to Hexblade's Curse and Armor of Agathys are the only ones that I think I ever used).
