One level of warlock buys you eldritch blast and mask of many faces.
One level of artificer buys you the ability to cast cure wounds with your spellslots, and the ability to use medium armour.
They're real popular splashes.
Apologies for tall comic again, I don't see a way in the lemmy interface to let me upload multiple images in one post (which would let me break it up.) - in the web interface, if you keep clicking on the image it'll become full size eventually, or you can open in a new tab and zoom in, or look at it at one of my other places

The spell Konsi's talking about is "Fortune's Favour" - it's level 2, consumes a 100gp pearl to cast, and lets you re-roll a single D20 within the next hour. It's in Explorer's Guide to Wildmount.
It's been a little while due to drawtober, and my website is (mostly) functional again, so if you want to read all the Konsi comics from the beginning, you can do so on my website at this link. Please be advised that these posts are presented in reverse chronological order, so start at the end and work backwards.
As usual, have a bonus Konsi
This is how every party healer feels inside.
I suppose y'all can have a bonus Konsi, as a treat.
You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear heavier or lighter. You must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs as you have. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.
I'm always cleaning up murder scenes... they all say that they want the gore gone.
Okay, jokes are done, continue with your day.

Just enthralled. Completely spellbound. Beguiled, charmed, under your spell.

This is peak political strategy, we all know it.
Here's a short little "meanwhile" comic as a bonus, since it's been a while.
Oh, apologies about my personal website. My hosting is done by a friend with a small server, and... well basically every wordpress site in existence is now under constant effective-DDoS by AI bots trying to scrape all the data. They're not subtle about it, and just try to download all the pictures simultaneously. My server is too small to handle that load, so just reboots when that happens (it's usually down for about a minute).
The fact that it's near constantly down is just a product of how often I'm getting these requests.

You might not wanna be famous, but when you're level 10, every organization within a mile is watching what you're doing.

Zero consideration given to the possibility that Konsi realized this herself and said it deliberately.
Both of the guards have a handle. If the guard that always lies pulls his handle, then the minecart will divert to the second track. If both guards pull their handle, the prisoners will be released. One of the handles is covered by a wooden box, where half of the wooden planks of the original box have been replaced by new ones cut from a tree that fell when nobody was around. If guard A is taller than guard B, are we getting paid for this quest?

Extra Konsi for the comments.

Audience entry cost is a silver piece, which you flip. You get to keep it if you call the flip correctly.
Aw man, imagine using technology to reduce the amount of time people had to spend working, rather than making rich people more money... what a crazy world.

Since we're wrapping up, here's the daily Konsi
Also have today's daily Konsi.
The number of posts on lemmy has almost exactly doubled since I started posting this comic series.
I don't know what that signifies.
(Please be aware I'm talking about 5.0 here. Everything I say here is wrong for 4.0 and 3.5, and I don't know anything about the new edition.)
It's a little complex.
5e wasn't really designed for multiclassing, the original intention was to disallow multiclassing altogether, and the feature was only added last minute after playtesters complained. They didn't really try to balance it other than trying to make it weak enough that most players would be dissuaded from taking multiclass levels.
The main cost of multiclassing is that it delays your class features for a level, for some classes, such as primary casters, this is a big deal - a wizard doesn't want to wait until level 6 for fireball. For other classes such as rogues and monks, they might not really care as much about higher level features. Once a rogue (played by a player who is minmaxing for power) has reliable talent, they often multiclass into something that'll give them new features (Paladin is quite popular as it increases your damage, gives you a better hit die, and adds new spells and abilities.)
One of the biggest reasons to multiclass, or refrain from multiclass is roleplay - as this is entirely based on a character's narrative and the story being told, the consideration of whether or not to multiclass for story reasons is essentially a personal choice.
For players looking to maximize their power, it's important to consider whether the features you'd be taking in your new class are useful in your campaign. I mentioned Mask of Many Faces, but that's a useless ability in a pure dungeon-crawler style "fight a new monster each week" style campaign.
It's also important to think about the scope of your campaign. Many people look at the level 20 capstone abilities, which can be extremely powerful, and will argue that multiclassing is never good because it locks you out of those abilities - but consider how long you're going to be playing your character and at what levels. Most campaigns that even get to level 20 wrap up after a couple of encounters, so is that exceptional power, for two sessions, better than taking a new feature that will last you for tens of sessions?
Most character classes, especially martials are very front-loaded. The first 5-10 levels contain most of the core features of your class, and before you've unlocked those, it's often tough to justify multiclassing - but once a monk gets access to stunning strike, do they care about other Ki powers? If a campaign is planned to end on an even level, does a full caster care about that last level when they're not getting any new spells?
As a very very rough rule of thumb, full-casters often want to avoid multiclassing altogether, or if they do multiclass, they want to take a single splash level of another class once they have the spells they care about. For most of those classes, that's either level 6 or level 14. Martials are often more flexible, as higher level features often amount to more choice in abilities rather than mechanical power. Swapping to a different class offers different choices, and certain builds can by synergistic.
Rangers always want to multiclass, because ranger sucks. /j
