I’m having a bit of heated discussion about multiclassing a Warlock.
The question is: can Warlock multiclass itself?Ultimately, they'd like to take different pacts with each version of the Warlock, but as I read the PHB, you can't do that.
Thoughts?

is that written anywhere or errata’d?The multiclassing rules lay out what they can do. Multiclassing into your own class is not something those rules support.

so that leads me to asking about whether that forbiddance, clear as it is to me, is explicit.
Basically: “It says so here” from what I can tell, it seems not so yet, but it also seems that I can at least know my reading is correct.

A rule does only what it says it does, combined with any relevant general rule. Anything beyond that is up to the DM.

So for this multiclassing question, essentially, not being explicitly forbidden doesn’t make it automatically permissible? That's correct.
