As someone who really wants to play a game with wild multiclassing as a highly viable strategy, Pathfinder is not the system to do it in. At best you might autistically maximize a full skill monkey but it is probably more effective to just split skills over characters anyways.
Well, my Frankenstein Vivi build begs to disagree.
Although some classes make more sense to stay (mostly) pure. Such as a Sword Saint.
The question isn't whether multiclassing is functional, it is whether it is superior to pure classing. You can do a ton of wild multiclasses that work. Although certain dips like monk, paladin, dragon disciple, and alchemist are the most common. But the question is whether you are outdoing a pure build.
Now for skill monkeys especially with mods dipping is obscenely good. 3 dip investigator, 2 dip to mindalchemist is amazing. Then you'd typically just level bard and maybe a bit of rogue. If you have mindacl and investi available you have to be essentially a moron to not dip. That is not true with most other dips for combat classes.
And even with tons of extra feats and character traits and class bonuses and shit from mods caster multiclassing for instance is generally bad.
