So, if you're mostly a spellcaster and you pick up levels of, say, Gladiator, you'll want to have a reason why. Perhaps you wanted to be able to better defend yourself if taken by surprise in melee combat; perhaps you sought the glory of being a Gladiator, standing tall in the arena; maybe you just like the idea of standing as the bulwark, protecting your friends.
Precisely! It's why Lucinne is going to be a Paladin/Warrior. She's mastering the heavy armed combat to better protect others and herself. It's her driving passion to show she isn't a stereotypical Duskwight.
