Yeah, technically or at least most intuitively to "multi class" within a class, you'd have to start the class again at level one. So let's say a fighter takes eldritch Knight at level three and then wants to tack on psi-warrior so starts the fighter path again. Does that fighter now have two action surges, as a "level 4" (3/1) character?
I guess the way I'd house rule it would be to not allow such redundancies. Or I guess, thinking it over, you can do it along the 20 level progression, but the character can only take martial archetype features along the class progression. So with the Fighter your get your level 3 progression, at level 7 you can take the next feature or start a new archetype and take that initial feature. If you do that latter at level 10 you choose between the second feature of both archetype. Level 15 you pick between the either the third archetype feature from the archetype you went with at 10 or you do the second feature of the one you didn't take. And it starts to seem sort of underwhelming and tedious. It's also not technically possibly within D&D Beyond, but it's doable on paper if you really want to use your subclass feature slots to have a bunch of features that are more diverse but lower powered that anyone else in your party aside from the multiclassers.
No, and that is by design. Most subclasses get their primary and most powerful abilities at the lowest level, so you would be doubling up on very potent abilities. Your DM can obviously overrule this, but that is at their discretion and you would have to manually make the changes
Well if you character was having a radical transformative event that you really needed to reflect in mechanics as opposed to simply reskinning features as needed and just playing a character bound to Tiamat, Tasha's does have rules available for switching subclasses (two modes one a 'retraining' which means the character invests in becoming something else than their current subclass the other is "dramatic change". I've never heard anyone use them, but they exist. Handling it like "Sudden Change" in that book would probably be the best for what you're talking about.
Or the affects of being bound to Tiamat could be represented through some sort of feat/boon/bane sort of thing.
The title is the question
MY INFO
RAW, no.
With DM approval, anything is possible.
In one campaign I'm in, our DM lets us do this. It's pretty fun, can be confusing sometimes, but yeah. Not allowed in the official rules tho

Raw, no. There are no rules for this. The class design doesn't even support it.
And naturally DDB can't support anything that is impossible in the rules, so it'd be on paper only.
Got ot
MY INFO
Even if it weren't against the rules, multiclassing into the same class would be very clunky since you'd be getting a lot of the same features twice.
BoringBard's long and tedious posts somehow manage to enrapture audiences. How? Because he used Charm Person, the #1 bard spell!
He/him pronouns. Call me Bard. PROUD NERD!

NO, BECAUSE THEN YOU COULD JUST CHERRY-PICK THE BEST FEATURES FROM EACH SUBCLASS AND CREATE AN INCREDIBLY OVERPOWERED CHARACTER.
No, and that is by design. Most subclasses get their primary and most powerful abilities at the lowest level, so you would be doubling up on very potent abilities. Your DM can obviously overrule this, but that is at their discretion and you would have to manually make the changes
And everything you guys have said is why that campaign is so freaking weird and crazy. Fun, but wild.
