hi there - doing this to encourage everyone in the US to vote early and help others where they can! my first dnd character started out as a changeling assassin rogue (lmao) and I eventually took 6 levels as a battlesmith artificer; he became supremely more interesting to play once I multiclassed. the best thing the character ever did was cast feather fall on our paladin who had like 6 hp left in our final battle against Tiamat (the paladin got the final blow on Tiamat but then was going to fall just far enough that it would probably take him out, and nobody had any healing spells left at that point). it was a fun ending for the character to save someone with a level 1 spell.
man I love when low level spells do something important and crucial! That does sound like a really great ending for a character. But going back I think the battlesmith multiclass with rogue is really interesting! My feelings about assassin rogue are documented but the problem is the concept is very cool (see: my I Don't Even Entirely Go Here (yet) Lucanis Posting) but mechanically it doesn't super fit well into D&D 5e as it is played, and I think a high-utility partial caster tank multiclass opens up a whole lot for like, a more fun assassin concept with GADGETS, or alternatively just keeps you alive longer and gives you the ability to do such cool moves as save someone with feather fall. I bet that multiclass choice gave you some cool character arc stuff to do too!
