That doesn't sound particularly fun, though. If I want to play a different class I want to play the whole thing as a different class. Starting halfway through with a new class is corny.
I've only respec'd twice so far and both were to better fit the playstyle I already had. Switched Karlach from Wildheart to Berserker since I prefer the extra attacks, and switched Astarion from Arcane Trickster to a Gloomstalker Ranger with proficiency in thieves tools because that's exactly how I've been playing him from the beginning.
I'll be damned if I abandon my paladin oath to play another class.
FWIW I'm not implying that you're not allowed to do whatever you want. I'm definitely not about the games that use always online to force you to play to the ~~developer's~~ publishers (cash grab) vision. Even if you "cheat" on a single player game who cares?
It just for me wouldn't be particularly enjoyable to just randomly turn my warlock into a bard to make an encounter better or whatever. I would want the bard to earn their level as a bard.
Oh yeah, I was trying to say that I agree. Switching on the fly to an entirely different class and playstyle(especially if a class has RP implications like paladin) seems like it would undermine a lot of the fun of the role playing portion of the rpg
