You're being totally divisive in every possible way. Basically whenever I make a comment, you butt in and tell me how wrong I am.. That seems to be fine with you. This is more than once that you have done this.

I don't get why you have to try and discredit and beat down anything I say on this forum. It's intolerable. I'm not enjoying this forum under these conditions.

Unless this stops. I'm just going to stop posting on the forum. That's not what larian really wants. For you to drive away people who have paid and have a right to express their viewpoints here.

I have no choice but to report you in hopes that you will stop your divisive commenting.

Multiclassing is an actual system in 5e.

The way multiclassing works in 5e is that whenever you advance your character level, you can choose to instead take that level in a different class (provided you meet the ability score requirements), essentially stacking that class level alongside your previous class levels. Aside from these ability score prerequisites, there's no limitation on how many classes you can multiclass into. In fact, it's totally possible to take a level in every 5e class at once if you have atleast a 13 in all ability scores except CON.

This is actually closer to how dual classing worked in adnd 2e, but unlike that system it's much easier to use, isn't limited to humans, and your character is much stronger throughout the entire process. If you want to customize your character further there's also things such as subclassing and feats that you can use to do so. For example, the Eldritch Knight subclass will give your fighter spellcasting and access to some spells from the wizard spell list. Similarly, there's also several feats that you can take to gain class features from other classes such as the skill expert feat which gives you expertise (a rogue and bard class feature) and the Metamagic adept feat which gives you the Sorcerer's metamagic class feature.

The system isn't in the game yet, but Larian has said it's planned to be there for the full release.
