* Thus, if you're going to multi-class, you need to weigh what each level of an additional class will gain you vs what it will cost you, especially with regard to things like feats (lvl 4, 8, and 12), spell levels for primary casters (every odd level), and Extra Attack (level 5 on most martials).

** Extra Attack from two different classes doesn't stack. Spell slots stack in a weird and unintuitive way that takes some getting used to.

** What order you take the multi-classes in also matters if you care about heavy armor. Because while you get proficiency with all armor types if you start from level 1 as a Fighter or Paladin, if you grab your first Fighter or Paladin level later on it won't give you heavy armor proficiency, only light, medium, and shield proficiencies. Clerics with domains that grant the use of heavy armor do still gain the proficiency if they first take the class later on.

* That being said, there are definitely small dips that can be worth it. Wizards can still cast in full armor and shields unimpeded if they got that proficiency from a level in another class, the Warlock's Eldritch Blast is a great fallback option for a Bard who doesn't want to get into melee, Fighter's Action Surge is great for pretty much any build that has a use for it, etc.
