I say, bah. scuttle this whole idea. Dual/Multi classing everything isn’t the answer. The solution is to come up with a new class, perhaps a composite of 2-3, and go from there.
So I’m suggesting, The Forester.
Race allowed:
Human—unlimited levels,
Elf—level limit 10th,
Half-elf—level limit 12th,
Half-dwarf( :wink2: )—5th(if even allowed!),
Halfling—level limit 7th,
Gnome—level limit 8th,
Half-orc—level limit 9th.
Alignment: Neutral, with either good or evil tendencies. (No LN, CN)
Requisites: Str 15, Int 13, Wis 14, Dex 15, Con 16, Charisma —
Level advancement table: use the Paladin.
Character is a subclass of Fighter, but trains/studies with druids and rangers.
Thus, gains 3/2 attacks at L7, 2/1 attacks at L13
Uses/Gains weapon proficiency as a Ftr. (Cannot specialize in anything but a bow if UA is implemented)
Does not learn MU spells at all !
Learns druid spells, and most abilities (but not Change Form !)
Cannot wear metal armor and cast spells; can use all other skills though.
Cannot be accepted into the druidic hierarchy; thus is not concerned with battling higher level druids.
Gains/uses ranger damage vs. Giant-Class creatures; +1 to damage per each odd level gained.
Learns to track as a ranger.
Attracts a body of follows (this requires a redesigned table though.) Does not gain any as a “fighter.”
Gains druidic spell use:
L3: 1×1st
L4: 2×1st; 1×2nd
L5: 2×1st; 2×2nd
L6: 2×1st; 2×2nd: 1×3rd
L7: 3×1st; 2×2nd; 1×3rd
L8: 3×1st; 2×2nd; 2×3rd
L9: 3×1st; 3×2nd; 2×3rd; 1×4th
L10: 4×1st; 3×2nd; 2×3rd; 2×4th
L11: 4×1st; 3×2nd; 3×3rd; 2×4th
L12: 4×1st; 4×2nd; 3×3rd; 2×4th; 1×5th
…for starters.

Of course, I’ll have to modify it for my campaign due to level limits, but it looks good so far.
