Unnecessary Multiclassing “Without a Specific Thought, Promised”
Through multiclassing, you can turn the tone of a class and your own background story into something unique and special by adding another class: a Bard who wants to create infernally good music through a pact with a devil, or a disciplined fighter who discovers how incredibly strong their rages can be in battle.
Through multiclassing, besides the coordinated background of an adventurer, powerful builds can arise that produce strong effects through the synergies of the classes. However, there are also combinations that devolve into extremely overpowering concepts and cannot be balanced easily.
No player should be denied the opportunity for strong abilities in combat, as ultimately everyone should have fun in the game. However, it is just as annoying as it is disappointing when a multiclass is only chosen for its exploits, without a solid argument for why your character is following routes from two or more classes.
If you really insist on your “OP multiclass,” with which you wipe out everything and everyone in your campaign with a single blow and 300 damage points, please be creative about your background story. Then your DM won’t roll their eyes when reviewing your character sheet but will look forward to seeing what you’ve prepared in action.
Dungeons & Dragons is (usually) not a solo experience but a deeply social game where you want to have an exciting and fun time together. Therefore, everyone should take a look in the mirror and consider whether they are the reason that this fun is hindered. If you are unsure or want to prevent becoming a problematic player right before finding your character, we have presented some character archetypes you should avoid here on MeinMMO: 5 types of characters you should better not play in Dungeons & Dragons
