Arcane
Not really
And Hexblade is just uncommonly good at first level, most classes don't offer nearly as much - Cleric is probably the only other dip that comes close
You wanna give up Polymorph, Dimension Door, Arcane Eye, just to cast two Fireballs?And Hexblade is just uncommonly good at first level, most classes don't offer nearly as much - Cleric is probably the only other dip that comes close
Fighter 2 is pretty unreal for fullcasters aswell.
The rules that forbid casting two spells in a turn only trigger when bonus action spells are in play.
A Fighter 2/Wizard 5 can do two fireballs in a single turn with action surge. Nothing survives that. And he has con saves and can wear heavy armor and has fighting style defense.
Rage is a level 1 feature.Dipping Barb to get Rage is fine until you realise you just delayed Extra Attack x2 by 3 levels, woops you just played yourself
That's actually fair, good pointIn a video game setting where combat/damage spells are much more useful than utility ones, two fireballs are better, yeah.
Polymorph
Just one level? Hmm yeah I guess it's ok. 2 fights per day +2 damage and half damage, it really depends on how many encounters your DM throws at you in an adventuring day.Rage is a level 1 feature.Dipping Barb to get Rage is fine until you realise you just delayed Extra Attack x2 by 3 levels, woops you just played yourself
Fighter 5/Barb 1 will have Rage for 5 levels before a single-classed Fighter gets attack #3. In those intervening levels the Fighter/Barb has a good and useful trick that they can pull.
If you're building for the endgame and have a specific level cap that's a bit different, but from levels 6-10 this is a pretty lateral move.
Yeah and later when you should get 9th level spells you're sitting on 8th only insteadPlus its not like you lose Polymorph and such forever. Just another 2 levels.
Sorcadin is a Sorc that dips into Paladin to get Smite, not the other way around. It's powerful, but lacks staying power, and it's arguably much more effective just to be a straight Sorc.

3eWhen did dual-classing become so common in D&D? It seems like it’s the norm now.

It's been the norm so long that Paizo/P:K made hay subverting it.
Speaking of tier class of power (in bg3 and not in tabletop):
-consider the general limitation of videogames
-consider larian tendency of give everyone insane magical items.
-consider rest spam or rest optimization
paladin is going to be SSS tier, and probally the easiest class for a solo run.
not even need to multiclass him, the magical items will solve any problem that smite and insane AC/ST can’t solve.
there is very few things in the multiverse that can survive a 5e paladin with a backpack full of haste potions dual wielding a pair of holy avengers (buffed by larian ofc)
