Multiclassing in Baldur's Gate 3

Multiclassing allows you to combine levels from multiple classes, creating a character with a unique blend of abilities and proficiencies. However, it's not always optimal, and requires careful planning.

Prerequisites

To multiclass, you must meet specific ability score requirements for both your current class and the class you wish to multiclass into. These requirements are listed during the level-up process. Generally, you'll need a minimum score of 13 in the relevant ability score. See detailed information about Ability%20Score%20Requirements.

When to Multiclass

Consider your goals for your character. Multiclassing can be beneficial if:

  • You want to gain specific abilities from another class (e.g., dipping into Rogue for Expertise).
  • You want to improve your character's versatility.
  • You're willing to sacrifice higher-level class features for a broader range of capabilities.

However, multiclassing can delay access to powerful high-level spells and features of your main class. A good grasp of Class%20Progression is key to avoid crippling your build.

Rules and Restrictions

  • Leveling: Each time you level up, you choose which class to gain a level in. You can freely distribute your levels among your chosen classes.
  • Proficiencies: You don't gain all the proficiencies of a class when you multiclass into it. You typically only gain a subset of weapon, armor, and skill proficiencies.
  • Spellcasting: Your spell slots are determined by your total level, but the spells you can learn and prepare are determined by your levels in each individual spellcasting class. This can complicate Spellcasting%20Mechanics.
  • Feats: You gain a Feat at character levels 4, 8, and 12, regardless of your class distribution.
  • Original Class: Your starting class affects your initial proficiencies.

Popular Multiclass Combinations

Many multiclass builds are popular for their powerful synergies:

  • Paladin/Warlock (The "Padlock"): Combines Paladin's Divine Smite with Warlock's Eldritch Blast and Pact Magic.
  • Rogue/Ranger (Gloom Stalker Assassin): Maximizes damage output in the first round of combat.
  • Fighter/Wizard (Eldritch Knight): Enhances martial prowess with spells.
  • Barbarian/Rogue: Take advantage of advantage on attack rolls from Reckless Attack to reliably trigger Sneak Attack.

Consider the overall Party%20Composition when planning your multiclass to best contribute to your team.

Respec

You can respec your character to redistribute your levels and change your class combination by speaking to Withers at your camp. There is a small fee involved with this process. This allows you to experiment with different multiclass builds without starting a new game.
