I tend to prefer single classes as I hate getting lost but I might try some multi classes if I ever get the chance to play, which given I am going to uni next academic year might be possible.
I can see feats helping scratch the dipping itch. I love PF1 archetypes. Its like a whole other multiclassing dimension. I also love the concept of prestige classes, though have not liked the execution of them to date.In fact we got single class, dipping, and multi split class which is almost inexistent except for sorcerer-paladin-warlock mix.
Tasha feats give enough variety and flavor, and look to me more natural than dipping so I prefer feats over dipping.
As for sorcadin and sorlock I can live without them.
So no MC for me.
I like those feats. Not in principle, but as they are they let you double down on things from your class. I like having metamagic from first level on my sorcerers and it is a nice alternative to Magic Initiate which was always near-mandatory.Concerning Tasha's: I don't like all the feats that step on the toes of the features key to classes (e.g. metamagic, eldritch invocations, fighting styles, etc.).
Through the editions this seems to always be the unwritten rule.Caster - single class.
Martial - multiclass.
Important features tend to be front-loaded in 5th Ed, and proficiency bonus is tied to character level, so exploiting break points provides a way for martials to expand their arsenal.
People do, especially if they favor not multiclassing.I like those feats.
Which is fine, as well, of course. My preference is for breadth instead of depth, however, so I like taking feats for things my class doesn't provide. But, just different tastes.Not in principle, but as they are they let you double down on things from your class.
Do you allow feats at level 1, or are you just referencing the variant human? We do feats at level 1, so no judgement there LOL!I like having metamagic from first level on my sorcerers and it is a nice alternative to Magic Initiate which was always near-mandatory.
I am not at all opposed to either. However, my favorite classes are warlock and cleric—-I have found a dip helpful once but often just do moderately armored for warlocks and go for it from there. I simply like cleric and warlock abilities enough I am loathe to delay them.I’m not opposed to doing either - focusing on a single class or multiclassing. But I do tend to go the single class route as a player because when I pick a class at chargen I’m usually looking to do what that class does over the long haul. I’m not usually looking at blended abilities like how an ability from class A interacts with an ability from class B. Though for the next campaign a friend is planning, I might go barbarian/druid to work with raging wildshape combat. That idea does intrigue me…
