Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks "Multiclassing" 101 (5th D&D)

IMO there is no need for multi-classing. Between backgrounds, sub-classes and ASI hybrids are freely available.
Mind you, my background here is BG1/2, or early DnD editions in general.
E.g. why Warrior-Mage if there is Eldrtich Knight? Why Cleric-Rogue if Trickster Domain and Criminal/Street Urchin background?
Etc. etc. ...
