I completely disagree with you there, you point your single class fighter, mage, cleric, thief whatever and I'll produce a dual class character that can beat it 90 p[er cent of the time. (with possibly the exception of mage)
I agree there are realignment issues when you dual class i.e going from a fighter to a mage you have to horde all your gear, you lose a fighter for ages etc etc and you may have to change your combat tactics but dual class characters are definitely more powerful.
My example is this my toughest party ever and we're talking one that wipes out dragions usually within 1-2 rounds with no cheesy tactics and mostly no injuries to the characters is this.
3 fighter/mage dual classes. two dualled at 9th level and one dual classed at 12th level.
A cleric/mage dual classed at 10th level
a fighter/cleric dual classed at 12th level
a kensai thief dual classed at 12th level
They can all look after themselves if they are in hand to hand combat and they will take out anyone very very quickly. It is an extreme example of a party but a single class party won't get close to being as powerful once they regain their abilities from their first class.
