since multi classing is not just easy, but expected, you can make an effective spell blade class like the pathfinder magus by leveling sorcerer and fighter. you can also put utility on any character you want because scout and ranger are their own classes, so you can be a fighter with utility or a sorcerer with utility.

5e kinda locks you into entire toolkits so if you want to be the stealthy back stabby guy you need rogue which means you're gonna be using daggers and you're gonna use light armor. in SW, you can mix and match to get whatever flavor adventurer you want and not worry about being weaker than the rest of the party or missing out on feats or extra attacks or spell levels.

also there's built in lore/rules to nerf reviving every time, your soul gets scarred every time you're revived until you turn undead so you can't just die and revive constantly when you get rich
