Just curious. Perhaps it's clear to some, but...

 

Q) Outside of armor/weapon proficiencies, do multiclass characters gain any skills upon attaining 1st level in the second class?

 

I'm converting an old-edition fighter/mage into a 5e fighter/wizard, that's why I'm asking. I'd like to think that they get at least one skill proficiency from their new class, otherwise I'll have to take the Skilled feat (which is a little overkill for what I'm trying to do).

Personally, I would only grant the bonus proficiencies from cleric domains at 1st character level, not first class level.

 

​ That being said, I dislike the way multi classing is implemented, and would be inclined to just not allow it.
