Multiclassing

Multiclassing

• You can take levels in other classes when you level up
• There's a difference between character level, and your level in your classes
• Each class has ability score minimums
  • You also need to meet the prerequisite for your primary class
• When you pick a class for the first time
  • You gain some, but not all of the class proficiencies
• When you level up
  • Hit points / die are added based on the class you pick
  • Your proficiency bonus is based on your total character level
  • Multi-attack - Doesn't stack
  • Channel divinity - You get more options, but not more uses
  • Your cantrip effects are based on your total character level

Spellcasting

• Spells prepared
  • Prepare each class spell list separately for each class
  • Each spell associated with one of your classes
  • The spell bonus / DC for a spell is based on which class its prepared for
• There's a separate table for how many spell slots you have, don't use the class-specific ones (warlock spell slots are separate)
• Warlocks - You can use pact magic slots for non-warlock spells, and regular spell slots for pact magic
