Every class: Yeah, I can merge this with a fighter

Fun stats for you all: if you tally up the scores for how highly things are rated for multiclassing into, the top three are fighter, cleric, and rogue. The lowest are the wizard and then a three way tie between Druid, artificer, and warlock. If you tally up the numbers for which classes like to multiclass dip the most, first place is the Rogue, followed by the fighter and the warlock. The ones who like to dip the least are the cleric, wizard, and barbarian. I don’t know what to do with this information, but I went through the trouble of collecting it, so now you know.

"So for our new build, we will be taking 2 levels of fighter" - Colby, probably.

Before I even start watching, I can't tell you how badly I wanted to run a party of D-tier multiclasses.

I think the biggest missing element from a lot of these rankings are defensive dips. Proficiency in medium armour + shields on classes that don’t get it, or the shield, absorb elements and silvery barb spells on a character without access is a dramatic power spike for most classes in the game for a single-level investment. I think this especially boosts the sorcerer and wizard in many rankings, and makes hexblade a phenomenal option beyond just gish builds.

I've said this before, the Celestial Warlock synergizes well with the Paladin

This series was great, especially since it gave Colby like four or five build ideas, at least.

my first multi class was a rogue-lock. a 2 level dip to give us booming blade and some other fun subclass features and invocations do wonders for both roleplay and combat. the booming blade in particular augments 2 levels of lost sneak attack while also creating negative incentive for enemies to chase you after disengaging. the amount of times I killed an enemy because they tried to chase after me was hilarious, including the bbg of our level 7-10 arc!

I'd say one of the best single level dips in my experience has been sorcerer, even on a Cleric. 4 cantrips, a special sorcerer ability, and immediately add Shield and Silvery Barbs to your repertoire. The key is getting spells that don't really depend too much on your Charisma. Unless you are going to Lvl 20, you won't be that far behind on power... but you also gain a ton.

I'd love to see a bonus episode looking at the multi class options for the Apothecary

I was surprised it wasn't mentioned in the Druid or Monk videos, and equally surprised it was skipped over again in this one, but Druid with a dip in Monk is so nice. It gives your Wildshapes an AC boost due to Unarmored Defense, as well as Unarmed Strikes to use your bonus action if you're not concentrating on a spell, or have lost concentration due to damage.

I noticed the camera and format changes and I like them. It's neat to see the content come to life with you two.

Haven’t played it, but I love the idea of way of mercy monk with peace domain cleric with mobile for a different take on the “field medic”

I think the reason for Wizards wanting Artificer levels is because of Constitution Saving throw proficiency and Medium Armor and Shields, while not slowing down Spell Slot progression. Normally, Wizards are reliant on Mage Armor, which caps out at 18 with full Dex investment. Half plate plus shield is 19 with only a 14 in Dex. Combined with the Shield Spell, you are a pretty tanky wizard.

Playing a HexSword bard for the last 6 months in a campaign and it is a very fun character. I have something useful do in almost any combat scenario. Defensive flourish so I don’t get hit, tons of mobility, eldritch blast the far targets, hypnotic pattern, healing word, party’s face, the list can go on.

I used to love the Ranger/Cleric in AD&D. Great time playing them back in the day.

Poor fighters, being the only class that can’t multi class into fighter 😢

I did one Multiclass build for a 1shot. I ended up with a Human, Scout Rogue(L11), Oath of the Ancient Paladin (L6) & Battle master Fighter (L3). Lets just say Misty Step, Action Surge and Smites, with also having sneak attack, really kills man. I had so much fun with that build.

This was a fun series, just to see Monty and Kelly throw out ideas and themes for potential ideas for the weird multiclasses. edit: The bard was one of the best, with them throwing out what music genre each multiclass was.

Great vid dudes! One thing on the bard, a one level warlock dip is S tier on all bard builds. Getting medium armor, shields, all martial weapons, shores up all of the bard's inherent weaknesses for defense (and you can grab the shield spell too), meanwhile getting eldritch blast fixes the fact that bards don't get a decent attack cantrip. And then the pact slot... at this stage it's just icing on the cake.

Great video, though I'm surprised you didn't go into the inverse charts, showing all together how each class does AS a dip. Or is that a future video 😅

I really love the idea of a beast master ranger with the shepherd druid.

My bladesinger build: Take your first level in Artificer and the rest in Wizard as a Half-Elf (Wood Elf). At level 3 with Bladesong you can only fail a concentration check on a nat 1 and have 45 feet of movement. At level you pick up Mobile, now you have 55 feet of movement and can only lose concentration when the DC goes above 10. You can stack on Longstrider for another 10 feet of movement for a total of 65 feet. At level 6 you pick up Haste which you can use on yourself without any fear of losing concentration, that gives you +2 AC, a second action, and increases your movement to a whopping 130 feet. At level 7 you get multiattack allowing you to attack 3 times on your turn, one of which can be a cantrip. Because of Haste you can elect to cast a spell, like Fireball, and still make a melee attack. One of your 3 attacks can be Booming Blade or Green Flame Blade and with your high movement and ability to stop opportunity attacks you can easily force enemies to chase you triggering Booming Blade. Wizards are squishy. However, with all your movement you can run up to the enemies, make your melee attacks, and then move back behind your party out of reach of most non-ranged enemies. Even if you do get attacked, with Bladesong and Haste you can easily have 20 AC and you advantage on dex saves and acrobatics checks. With Shield and Absorb Elements at the ready you can easily mitigate any incoming damage. You also have proficiency in Con saves and as a half elf you have advantage on most Wis saves. Finally, Artificers get Cure Wounds, so if you do take any damage you can use it on yourself to regain some HP and if your DM uses the bonus action potion rule you can also use a potion on top of that for even more healing if it's needed -- and then still make a melee attack. And what did that first level in artificer cost you? You get your ASIs/feats and learn new spells 1 level later. You don't lose any spell slot progression. You'll still have the same slots you would have as a full Wizard, you'll just learn the spells of that level 1 level later. You only lose spell slot progression if you take 2 (or more) levels of Artificer. If you didn't get Artificer at 1 you wouldn't have con save prof which means you could lose Haste and suffer the negatives of that. You also get a bunch of tool profs which are nice. Starting with light armor prof can also be nice if you are actually playing from level 1. So yeah, that's my build. Lol.

I have to say, I love the druid barbarian multiclass by taking one level in Barb. And the rest in druid, I also love halls new background

47:30 for a level 10 one-shot I built a evocation wizard 8/tempest cleric 2 with a staff of thunder and lightning. Sadly I was never able to play that character, but the potential was crazy. Also, plate armor.

This was a great, insightful series. Thanks for doing the overview. Now, get ready to do it all again considering the updates coming with the 2024 PHB, LOL!

I don't know if I would call it the most powerful multiclass, but one of the most surprising and fun multiclasses I've done was actually based on some random art I found. It was a forest gnome Swarmkeeper Ranger with a 3 level dip into Artillerist Artificer, where the idea was that her swarm was actually a bunch of little clockwork devices that looked like insects, and all of her spells were specialized clockwork bugs. Light? Firefly robot. Alarm? Mechanical cicada, etc. I originally made the build just for the fun concept, but I was surprised at how well everything synergized. Use the repeating shot infusion on your crossbow to get access to your ranger extra attack. Throw on hunter's mark turn 1, then use your bonus action on other turns to shoot your force ballista (bigger metal bug). Add in the extra d6 piercing from swarmkeeper, and it was actually doing a lot of work.

It would be interesting to see a party of the most broken multiclasses in an ironman endless horde fight raid against a never ending threat to see which performs the best and which one reaches furthest in an epic one-shot.

Amazing video as always DDudes! The multiclass that I spotted that I think should have been giving a higher tier is the Artificer level 1 dip for Wizard. Itgives you very few drawbacks in favor of MANY benefits: Proficiency in Con Saves, Shields and Medium Armor. If you start as Artificer it gives you 8hp instead of 6hp. Access to int based Cure Wounds, Faerie Fire, Guidance, etc. Artificer is a half-caster, but it is the only half-caster that gets it's spellcasting at level 1, which means (and the rules state that), your spell slot progression for multiclassing is divide by half and ROUNDED-UP, which means at level 1 dip you get no penalty for spell slot progression.

Thanks dungeon dudes ! It’s been a blast watching all the indivisible multi class videos and now this super video !! ❤

these final reviews are a personal favorite of mine its always cool to see how everything ranked compared to everything else

That Wizard/Tempest Cleric combo was done really well on Rolling With Difficulty and really sung with the Scribes Wizard. Plus the flavor of the build that came about via the story was fantastic

In a 3 character party, with a Barbarian and Sorcerer, I did ended up playing a Lore Bard with a 1 level dip in Life Cleric, getting Aura of Vitality with the 6th lvl magical secret and it worked great !! I then covered the roles of infiltrator, Utility, support, investigator, negotiator, healer and crowd control...Wasn't great at dealing damage but loved every minute of it !

I came very close to one-turning an adult red dragon by myself as my Assassin/Samurai/Oath of Ancients Paladin. Mobile lets me close distance very quickly, and those auto-critical smite-sneak-attacks get very mean VERY fast, especially with action surge and possible bonus action advantage if I need it. It's super single target, but I built him as a boss killer on purpose.

Awesome series, thank you. Not properly tested, as it was in a solo campaign I found online (Seidkona Saga), but Shadow Monk 6, then multiclassing into both a Gloomstalker and an Assassin (probably maxing out at monk 11, 4 ranger, 5 rogue) is a lot of fun to play.

So glad you came around on the swords bard. I was playing one in Baldur's Gate and it was pretty good, then I multiclassed with two levels in Paladin and now it's a beast in melee with a huge spellcasting toolkit and high AC.

Hi guys. Discovered your videos after I went down the BG3 rabbit hole, and I just gotta say you guys make D&D so accessible. Great content!

I played ranger 5 fighter 3 Rogue 8 in a multidimensional 2 shot. It was insanely powerful. Ton of damage, was able to hide well throughout these tunnels and amphitheater the DM had build out of wood and pvc pipe. And was able to set team members up with advantage or opportunities to do some cool stuff. It helped out 18L wizard was a true master of control, our Moon Druid was super tanky, and our Paladin/sorcerer was drawing a ton of attention from the BBEG. Paladin did go down 3 times but overall it was amazing.

I loved these multiclass videos. I think you guys should definitely cover Gestalt stuff too. I know Gestalt Rules are a Homebrew Ruleset, but a lot of people play Gestalt games and they are a lot of fun and I think you guys would have a blast covering this topic and coming up with wild combinations

Love listening to your discussions and analysis.

Adding 3 levels of Tempest cleric to my Storm Sorc yes, required reasonably good stats, but gave me automatic access to some of the spells that I wanted to take anyway, in addition to granting flexibility in low-level spells that helped me be more useful in exploration (detect magic, identify, etc are expensive when you can only have a small number of spells). Increasing the total spells known in any way shape or form is a gods-send to a Sorc, freed up space to take more high-level Sorc spells later, and yes, can we say Empowered 6th level Inflict Wounds? Plus, of course, the channel divinity to deal max damage on thunder or lightning, so that's potentially 80 points of damage to 4 (or more, if upcast) baddies on a Chain Lightning. It helped on all levels of play.

I'd love a collab with Colby where you discuss your build requests he did

I love the icons for each class. Cool!

Artificer with a small 17 level dip into Wizard.

It's either me or my friend DMing so our characters oscillate, either it is me or him in the party. He initially picked rogue and I picked ranger. Though I decided to go for rogue multiclass to add the thieve's tools to the mix for when we need to open stuff and rogue is DMing... so now after 5 levels of ranger (went for dual wielding swarm keeper) I added rogue and am planning on probably levelling rogue till the end (or 2-3 levels of fighter too). This is not a gloomstalker assassin build, as I was already set in swarmkeeper when I noticed that we lack rogue when I play and don't DM and it was completely whacky for-fun build. Turned out pretty great with 6th level character throwing 1d8 rapier + 4 from dexterity + 1d6 swarm + 1d6 hunter's mark + 1d4 favoured foe + 1d6 sneak attack + second attack (1d8 + 4 from dex + 1d6 hunter's mark + 1d4 favoured foe) + two weapon fighting attacks (1d6 shortsword + 4 from dex + 1d6 hunter's mark + 1d4 favoured foe), making it deal avg 44 damage per turn at level 6 without any magic items included (assuming all hits, and that it's 2nd turn and forward as first bonus action goes towards hunter's mark) My other character that I use for a campaign play, I also chose ranger, drakewarden, but I am more focussed on protecting my party, a weird tank build if you will, so I dipped 1 level into life cleric and my goodberries are now godberries, I can summon a lot of them (up to 60) and they heal 4 hp each, making them the best out of combat healing tool without taking rests. Curse of Strahd is going really well as you can assume. It is hard to force us into scarcity mindset when we have unlimited food and healing.

What about the Blood Hunter? I’d love to see your thoughts on the possible multiclass options with it

For the one shot- no class repeats! I'd love to see the crazy combos you guys and Colby come up with. Ask Chris, too! Party must cover the Fighter, Mage, Rogue, Priest archetypes. Go!

Something worth mentioning for Wizard/Artificer is that the first level of Artificer can give you a lot. You get Light/Medium Armor and Shield proficiency, Con ST proficiency, Thieves Tool proficiency (which I assume uses Int rather than Dex), Guidance, Thorn Whip (or any other cantrip you feel like), and the ability to prep 5 extra spells (of 1st level but still). This means you can prep Absorb Elements, Faerie Fire, and Cure Wounds (for bad situations where the healer goes down), and other spells that aren’t needed all the time but are good to have in your back pocket (Feather Fall, Disguise Self, etc.) so you can use your Wizard prepared spells on other things. Magical Tinkering can be combined with things like Minor Illusion, Prestidigitation, Thaumaturgy, etc. for interesting effects. It can also act as a low level budget Sending (You write: “All good” on something, give it to an NPC that can help you, then use Magical Tinkering until that message disappears to alert them you’re in danger.) You also get 2 extra 1st level HP which doesn’t matter that much in the long run but at low levels is a 10-25% HP increase and can be the difference between taking another hit or not. You delay spell access by 1 level but I think there are definitely cases where the trade off is worth it.

This was an awesome series. I would be really interested hearing what you guys think could be used from BG3 in terms of rule changes that could be adopted back into table top. Do you see any positive adjustments we should just accept as the norm?

I actually really like the idea of an artificer-barbarian multiclass. I would be an artillerist with utility spells that rages and blasts people with my canon in combat.

For people who are confusing making a suboptimal multiclass just in order to get one spell or one ability or one proficiency, just remember that there are not only a number of feats that can get you what you're looking for, but also remember there is literally a section in the dmg or phb, I can't recall which, on getting magic items made or how long it would take someone you hire to fetch something for you. Talk to your DM, let them know you're interested in faerie fire, but don't want to take one level of bard for it, and you might just so happen to hear a rumor about a wand of faerie fire being offered as reward for helping done fae with a quest.

This has been an interesting teir list series! and combined with the other teir list vids I have theory crafted alot! And my favorit multiclass picks are: Artificer Alchemist + Evocation wizard Artificer Battlesmith + Bladesinger wizard or Eldritch Knight fighter Barbarian (any) + Battlemaster/Rune Knight Fighter or Swashbuckler/Soulknife rogue Bard (Swords/Lore) + Fathomless Warlock pact of the blade Cleric (any) + Ranger (any) Druid (Land "Grassland") + Arcane Trickster/Scout Rogue Fighter (Battlemaster/Eldritch Knight/Rune Knight) + (see Barbarian(not with Eldritch Knight) or Artificer picks(only with Eldritch Knight)) Monk (Shadow) + Ranger (not Beastmaster or Drakewarden) or Rogue (Arcane Trickster/Swashbuckler) Paladin (Conquest) + Bard (Swords/Lore) or Warlock (any) Ranger (Horizon Walker) + Rogue (Swashbuckler) Sorcerer (Divine/Abberrant Mind) + Warlock (Celestial/Fathomless) Warlock (Celestial) + Bard (Swords) Wizard + Nothing (maybe Cleric for armor Prof.)

I do love all the wacky combos this series has brainstormed

one thing of note you can do with fighter/warlock is the warlock can let you use elven accuracy with a great weapon, and when you have a -5 the mega advantage can be more impactful.

A fun build I came up with recently was a melee swords bard / battle master / swashbuckler. The amount of damage you can dump into a single attack, all the feints and parries, support spells and 2 fighting styles make that thing the best one-on-one duelist I've ever made.

One of my favorite multiclass for wizard is a bladesinger, barbarian build. The barb is just there for the 1st level to give unarmored defense (rage can help if slots are gone), as well as access to any weapon.

Just finished a campaign with a lvl 17 devotion paladin. I had good rolls to start so instead I picked up a couple of feats; magic initiate warlock, and heavy armour master. With the magic feat, I picked up eldritch blast, toll the dead, and 1st level hex. It played like a tank healer, awesome party support. I had a legendary Warhammer (1 handed for ALL the d8's) that would recharge my lay on hands with damage dealt (charisma modifier per long rest); not many party members died after I picked that up! Eventually became Hel's champion devoted to making sure that fate ran the just course, returning undead to their rightful place and making sure enemies met their timely end. Best hit was an opportunity critical hit with 5th level smite for 97 dmg.

I'm playing a level 5 pure barbarian right now, planning to put the rest of my levels into fighter. I'm doing ancestral guardian and rune knight. In terms of power, its definitely not way up there, but I'm playing with a number of new or newish players so I didn't want to go crazy, and the roll play potential is absolutely amazing with those two subclasses. I'm having a blast playing it.

40:00 - I created an all-multiclassed short adventure a while ago and have run it several times now as a pro DM, and it's a blast. I set the party level at 9, and beyond that the only restriction is that everyone has to multiclass at least one level. It's so fun to see the creative combinations that people come up with, especially when they aren't worried about viability at lower levels or being stuck with their choices for a whole campaign. I think the most interesting one so far has been a Swords Bard 4 / Eagle Totem Barbarian 4 / Divine Soul Sorcerer 1 aasimar with the shield master and grappler feats because he basically had unlimited battlefield control no matter what scenarios or creatures I threw at them. He wasn't the hardest hitter but he didn't need to be - he just lined up the shots for everyone else.

Great video would love to see you guys do a similar video for bg3 saying there's some big differences

Having actually played an artificer/rogue multiclass for full infiltrator armor, I can confirm it was fun to play. I ran it with the Mastermind archetype to throw in some aid based support, but arcane trickster probably would have been the strong pick for rogue 3 with that. My plan was to eventually pick up two wizard for some basic ritual casting and the War Magic archetype features to add in some extra defense options. The end goal was basically Artificer X, Rogue 3 (maybe more?), and Wizard 2. Using the Skulker feat for additional hiding options.

Haven't been here for some time. Love the lighting change!

For Fighter/Warlock, I actually got the build idea from your vids on this. We're starting at level 11 in a game, so we have some freedom. I paired Fighter (Arcane Archer) with Warlock (Hexblade) for the "better arcane archer". I can't wait to try it out!

Counterargument on multiclassing Druid: it REALLY depends what you're going for. I'm currently running a Druid/Monk multi with a focus as the team's healer (Circle of Land {Forests} / Way of Mercy). Once the build comes fully online, I functionally decide who lives and who dies through healing. I have Healing Word for heals at range, Hand of Healing for up close, Healing Spirit for multi-heal, and depending on which class I lean in on I can add Flurry of Healing & Harm, Lesser Restoration, Greater Restoration, etc. Plus, combining Shillelagh and Flurry of Blows is just peak thematically and mechanically. I have high mobility, low upkeep, high versatility, and can contribute to a fight from nearly any range. Utility in and out of combat is excellent. I may not have the "heal nova" potential of a Cleric, but in terms of keeping the party on its feet during a protracted or difficult combat I believe this particular multiclass is S Tier.

what i ended up doing when i went for a fighter main: i started with hexblade warlock, got enough to get evocations, then went into my fighter levels and went echo knight (variant human, took the crusher feat for 1st level, it was on a high seas-type campaign: result enemies got pushed off ships constantly)

I loved my tabaxi cleric. At the beginning he started as a lvl divine sould sorcerer. Getting the spark of the divine he indulged into the teachings of Ilmater and became a twilight cleric. Just one lvl dip is enough to get access to the shield spell and absorb elements. Silvery barbs via fey touched. Since the tilight domain gets divine strike which improves at cleric lvl 14, you have some amazing synergy witch Booming blade/Green Flame blade. Plus spirit shroud deals extra dmg to any attack you make within 10 feet. So it synergizes well with spiritual weapon. and that is hella fun! A cleric having access to these spells is such a force xD

Im playing a path of the giant barbarian in my tabletop, and Im dealing stupid high damage. Combined with a +3 rock, my to hit is insane. I think balancing the feat would probably be to drop the to hit bonus, making it a +0 to hit and +3~5 damage feat. That pulls it in numbers wise, but there would be room for some flavor bits (similar to the BA attack of GWM, or the ignoring of long range with Sharpshooter)

Not sure if it is the most *powerful* but I have a lot of fun with my Rogue/Barbarian. You become a Grapple *monster* with almost no effort, sneak attack can be used with a strength-based attack as long as it is with a finesse weapon, and Extra Attack is great on any Rogue. (In my case, I started as mostly Barbarian but intend to build toward more and more Rogue until it's more Barbarian than Rogue. Currently shooting for Barbarian 7/Rogue 13 as the end point)

I took the suggestion of ranger/rogue, gloomstalker/arcane trickster from this channel. I've never felt so powerful with a character. The consistent damage output vs the rest of my group is insane! Love this mash-up!! My characters ambition is to make his own ranger conclave (gloomstalker has never been created before in my dms homebrew). I mixed the two subclasses together and call it the Umbral Anarchist 🤘

Artificer can be a great 1 level Dip as starting class for Wizard. You get: Medium Armor and Shields, some nice Spells from the Artificer list that free up picks for your early wizard levels and Construction Saveing Throws! You lose: 1 level of spell progression, but no spellslot levels.

A multi class build idea I had was a thri-krieen barbarian 2 or more + any number of rouge. With this you get on demand sneak attack and you can duel wield a great sword with a short sword. I haven’t played this character but I feel its a very strong character concept

Also a fun combo: Human or Half Elven Bard (Valor)/Rogue (Mastermind) Concept: Ultimate helper Use Bardic Inspiration along with Faerie Fire to give companions advantage and bonuses. Take Valor Bard to 6 for multi-attack, then 3 levels of Rogue to pick up Cunning Action and the Mastermind archetype for the awesome Master of Tactics feature, allowing you to use Help as a bonus action and increase the range (for Helping on attacks) from 5ft to 30ft. At this point, on every round the bard can be giving either Inspiration or Help, while concentrating on a helpful spell like Faerie Fire, AND casting an attack spell or making an attack. 1st Feat: Inspiring Leader - give everyone bonus hp after every rest. Or, if human, take Sharpshooter at 1st, then take Crossbow Expert at your next Feat.

Highest level combo i ever did was a 16th level bugbear swords bard, swashbuckler rogue, battle master fighter with the sentinel feat. They had a whip, a bunch of flourishes and battlemaster techniques, to do sneak attack damage (from 15ft if need be), a bunch of mini buffs and battlefield control, 5th level bard spells and a bunch of skill expertise. They also had a +11 initiative with action surge on round 1, to get 4 attacks with the bugbear's extra damage.

A few multiclass choices that I think get overlooked in favor of more “popular” subclasses but deserve a shout out would be the Artillerist Artificer/Evocation Wizard (2 levels) or the Tempest Cleric/Land Druid (Mountain). That being said, I always enjoy these videos for the out of the box inspiration they give me

one of my favorite lvl 20 sheets i ever made was eldritch knight 3, inquisitive 12, battlesmith 5 go dwarf to use heavy armor with no penalty, dump everything (including dex 13 for multiclassing), go all in on int and get wis to 18. advantage and expertise on perception and investigation PLUS reliable talent, 6d6 sneak attack per round, blur (plus war caster if you want)….so many fun possibilities, and a very fun way to focus hard on soft stats

31:22 I love this part of the conversation because I've been tinkering with a Paladin/Bard multiclass and _that's_ basically "Main Character Syndrome: the build." Six levels in any Paladin Oath, Lore Bard the rest of the way. Proficiencies, Expertise, Magical Secrets, Jack of all Trades, more spell slots... that's a pretty easy multiclass that REALLY fills out any lack of versatility Paladin has.

You guys easily have the best d&d channel on youtube. Most of the other ones are just 1 guy who makes cringe jokes the whole time lol. I love to hear you guys discuss things. It helps a lot when trying to learn

I got the d4 deep dive reference! Also the captain of the kingsguard build reminds me of Gurney Halleck and his baliset. Also also, one shot wizards vs mindflayers

once our wizard with a cleric dip (order) used healing word while tied up to give me (a ranger rogue) extra sneak attacks. so I was making two attacks, my wolf was making two attacks, and I was getting an extra attack on the cleric's turn despite him being tied up and unable to do much.

It kind of depends on the ruling from DM, but the S-tier (in my book) Cleric multiclass is Twilight cleric+Gloomstalker ranger. You can use shillelagh from the ranger druidic fighting style to attack with wisdom, the Gloomstalker makes you invisible in dim light to darkvision, and the Twilight channel divinity gives you dim light in a large radius, as well as flight. As long as the twilight channel divinity is up, you can be invisible, flying, and pumping the temp hp for the whole party. You can fully lean into wisdom too, as your attacks use that.

I play a level 19 character that is 4 levels of Hexblade Warlock and 15 levels of Lore Bard. I think I might have done one too many level in Warlock, but in general I really love this build. I picked up Pact of the Chain for level 3 Warlock and have an Imp familiar. For roleplaying aspects, having a smart-mouthed devil as a familiar has worked tremendously for in-game roleplaying. At level 19, so much of my work is doing support or casting big encounter changing spells like Force Cage, Wall of Force, Counterspell and so forth, that even though I have a fireball via Magical Secrets, on the balance I do way more damage using Eldritch Blast. With Hex, Hexblade's Curse, I can often hit for ~90 points of damage just using Eldritch Blast, which on the balance does more damage than Fireball and doesn't suck up a spell slot.

General question - can you use Tempests channel divinity on Way of Ascendant dragon monk lightning attacks?

I’m really enjoying my Shadow Monk/Thief Rogue in Baldur’s Gate 3. Attack + attack + flurry of blows + flurry of blows with the extra bonus action is awesome. Or I could swap a flurry of blows for a dash, or a shadow arts teleport, or any kind of mobility trick I can think of. I could also Dash three times in my turn for maximum fast. I am the ultimate skirmisher

Not sure if you guys mentioned the new studio space, but how do you like it? Will we get a tour around or is what is shown on camera the main attraction?

Alternate idea on that ultimate patty - make that team essentially the bbeg, everyone try to build something that they think can actually beat pal/scor,.scorlock, Hexadin, and roguestalker working together

Love your videos I have found them very helpful and entertaining. Do you have a way I can get input/help from you guys on my own multiclass build

The greatest surprise I’ve encountered in multiclassing was my Halfling divination wizard 2/wild magic sorcerer. The Lucky feature of the Halfling race + the Portent ability of the divination wizard + the wild magic surges of the wild magic sorcerer made for a lot of memorable moments at the table with regard to dice rolls. Tides of Chaos and Bend Luck from the wild magic sorcerer are also features that mess with dice outcomes that often get overlooked. Add to that that the character picked up the Lucky feat along the way, and the fact that sorcerers can use Metamagic to completely change the expectations of the DM when casting spells… it made for an amazingly effective combo, and wasn’t much of a hindrance to me as a MAD build. Just choose some wizard spells that don’t rely too heavily on Intelligence to cast and the rest is in the portent. Even without the Lucky racial feature, 2 levels of divination wizard is always a banger.

Try a 5 monk with then a Divination wizard splash... Use the portents to ensure that Stun lands when you get low portents, silvery barbs to help more, and a lucky feat later to seal the deal.

Played a Knowledge Cleric and once I got past 3rd level spells, my enthusiasm for the Cleric spell list was definitely waning. Took a quick dip into Rogue to get Expertise in Perception and Insight and I love it! Currently played in a high-level campaign and I adapted a build that Treantmonk covered that uses a Quickened Greater Invisibility to near guarantee permanent Advantage and then piles on XBE, Elven Accuracy, Sharpshooter, etc. Started at 12th level so I was able to "cheat" and just take 7 levels of Sorcerer and 5 levels of Fighter, which would have been rough if we didn't start at 12. Treantmonk uses Bard to bridge the gap so the character is viable from 1st level onwards, but I didn't have to! My favorite character ever though, and one that I am currently playing, is a Wood Elf Scout Rogue/Gloomstalker Ranger. I just feel so useful outside of combat with all of my Skill Proficiencies and Expertises. Started at 3rd level and I made the tough decision of starting with Rogue levels because I really wanted the extra Expertises to fill out my skills. Currently 8th level so I am Rogue 4/Ranger 4, and Extra Attack is so close I can taste it. It will feel SO good to finally get that, but I don't regret the level progression because of how much I've enjoyed the character's abilities outside of combat. Plan is Rogue 4, then 8 levels of Ranger, then back to Rogue for however long I am still playing the character. Looking back, maybe Rogue 3 -> Ranger 5 -> Rogue 4 -> Ranger 8 might have been better. However, as an archer character, being able to ignore cover and not have to worry about the long-range penalty has been extremely helpful in allowing me to use Steady Aim to consistently get Advantage and Sneak Attack when I otherwise could not have and the consistent Sneak Attack has helped make up for lack of Extra Attack.

Right now I'm playing a Swashbuckler Rogue 9/Hexblade Warlock 2 and a Runechild Sorcerer 9/Knowledge Cleric 1. The Hexbuckler is super good in combat between Booming Blade, Sneak Attack, Medium Armour, Shields and the Shield spell, but also lets me focus on Charisma (and Mask of Many Faces/Actor) for social encounters. Taking the Cleric dip on Sorcerer was amazing, bringing my AC from 10 to 18 with Medium Armour and Shields, gave me a few good spells like Healing Word, Bless, Detect Magic and Identify and Expertise in History and Arcana, letting me be a much needed info gatherer when required

In my current campaign, I am a Simic Hybrid Way of Mercy Monk who is going to get some levels of Spore Druid into his kit. DM gave us a free feat at level 1, so I went Magic Initiate Druid for Shelly and Magic Stone to focus on Wisdom while stating its actually a Druidic Martial Art he was training in.

Main campaign is a hexblade warlock that's taking a few levels into lunar sorcerer (there's some RP/in-character stuff going on too, so this isn't a pure "power gamer" build) for those sweet 1st and 2nd level spell slots for utility spells like Shield and Misty Step so I can save my pact slots for stuff like Shatter and Spirit Shroud, plus the meta magic stuff is a nice cherry on top to hexblade already being a really good subclass. Working on a rogue-artificer build to get some cool infusions along with Booming Blade for big Sneak Attack damage =D

Funnest multiclass was a Gloom Stalker/Assassin/War domain cleric really wanna do a lot turn 1 AND make sure you hit with channel divinity, and even more extra attacks. Really fun was also considering dipping into fighter as well for action surge

I see your D ranking for Druid/wizard and I offer up my Circle of Stars Druid with a 2-level dip in Divination Wizard. Portent is the perfect addition to the stars Druid’s divination abilities, and it’s nice to grab the wizard’s first level utility spells and cantrips. It works thematically with my Druid’s back story of growing up in a university environment with astronomy and biology professors for parents.

Omg YES! I've been stressing out for the past 2 weeks over, which Wizard multiclass I should take.

My strider at level 6 in ToA is a horde killer. Obviously 5 levels of sorcerer for transmuted spell and ashardalon's stride, 1 level in rogue (with a planned 2nd), already I am dashing around catching 50-90% of the enemies, killing them in 2-4 turns. When I get the cunning action dodge to free up my action for spells or sneak attacks, and start going back to sorcerer for upcasting, its going to be insane.

I have a 2 level knowledge cleric 8 level divination wizard I use in a one shot group I play with and I love having those cleric levels. I've got my armor and shield, my turn undead, my channel divinity to gain proficiency in what I need for the moment, guidance, healing, my spell slot progression unimpeded, charisma saving throw proficiency rather than the less common intelligence...very happy for the cleric levels

Shoot, at 6th level you can have _expertise_ in 8 skills, proficiency in 4 others, half-proficiency in the rest. Rogue 2, Eloquence Bard 3, Knowledge Domain Cleric 1. Variant human to get Prodigy. Now, that is with a free feat at level 1, Skill Expert, but even then, just subtract 1 proficiency and 1 expertise.

For the Artificer Rogue multiclass, alternatively you can also take the Goblin race to have BA: Disengage and Hide, pick up Skill Expert (Stealth) to round the odd Int Score at level 4 (if Standard Array or Point buy), and also get a little extra damage vs a particularly hard foe or bbeg. :) I'm still trying to figure this build out, but it always seems like I want more interesting feats and don't have enough ASI's. BA: Hide + Skulker + Expertise and Advantage in stealth seems great! Hide in light obscurement and fire off Sharpshooter lightning Launcher attacks willy nilly. You can also take advantage of the Guardians Thunder Gauntlets + BA: Disengage. You can also rest Trick the THP from Guardian armor then swap to infiltrator to help boost your hit points.
