But I could be wrong.
In 5e, Spell Slots are determined by your Total Caster Level, which you calculate by adding 1 from full casters, 1/2 from half casters, etc. Warlock is its own thing. A Wizard 3/Cleric 3 has the same # of and level of spell slots as a Wizard 6.

Spells Known & Prepared are determined by your individual classes. A level 3 wizard/X "other" is effectively just considered a pure level 3 wizard when determining how many wizard spells they know and can prepare each day. But they can upcast their wizard spells into higher level spell slots (if they have any).

Yeah, that's what I meant. In your Wizard 3 / Cleric 3 example I think Larian plans to give the multiclassed version access to all spells that they have spell slots for - so you could pick cleric spells as if you were a level 6 cleric and not level 3 - I guess wizards will maybe even on their level up then be able to learn spells as a wizard level 6 (not to mention the mess that their access to scrolls will allow). If Larian goes this way, you can sprinkle 1 level of Wizard into every other full caster and never bother to go higher on the Wizard and still have the full range of spells and full amount of spell slots. I guess that is also why they didn't bother fixing healing spell scrolls which wizards could learn in EA.
