Ultimate Baldur’s Gate 3 Guide : How To Multiclass

Multiclassing is an interesting mechanic in Baldur’s Gate 3 that allows players to combine various different classes to come up with overpowered and versatile class combinations to make the gameplay more exciting. Like many RPGs, BG3 enables you to endlessly toy with the customization of characters in order to convert them into highly efficient and potentially unique combatants.

The ability to mix various attributes of different castes and classes enables players to come up with highly powerful characters by undertaking various customization experiments. While some traits of classes match up brilliantly with others, there obviously are advantages and disadvantages of multiclassing in Baldur’s Gate 3. 

How to Multiclass in Baldur’s Gate 3?

Multiclassing is a relatively easy process in Baldur’s Gate 3. When you are due for a level-up, you can click the level-up button to open the screen for the same. Once it is open, you have to click a button on the top-right corner of the screen that says ‘Add Class’. Clicking this button will redirect you to a new menu that features all the classes in Baldur’s Gate 3. You are then free to select a class of your choosing and gain one level (the starting level) of that class. 

There are some tips and notes you must consider while opting for multiclass in BG3:

  1. Choosing multiclassing will not automatically grant you all the unique abilities and proficiencies of your new class of choosing. 
  2. Starting HP of all players in Baldur’s Gate 3 depends upon the class they spend their first level playing with. This means that you are much better off choosing a starting class that features a higher hit-die rate at the beginning of the game. 
  3. It is essential to note that every class in BG3 levels up separately. This means, once you decide to multiclass, the level up of your new class of choice will start from level one of the said class. If you are currently at level 3 Paladin and decide to multiclass with another class, e.g. Monk, you won’t get the abilities of a level 3 Monk. The Monk (second class) abilities will start anew from level one. 
  4. Multiclassing with spellcasting classes, such as Wizards, Sorcerers, and Mages, will not immediately allow for complete spell progression. You will have to take the slow road to unlock the full spellcasting power of the combined class to complete the spell skill tree. 
  5. There is no specific start requirement to initiate multiclassing in Baldur’s Gate 3. You can start anytime you are due for a character level-up (when you have enough XP) and combine your existing character with any other class. However, it is important to note that not every class combination will turn out to be powerful.

There are countless possibilities for creating unique characters in BG3. You can endlessly experiment and add different classes that you think can help you actualize your dream playstyle.

Some of the most popular multiclass combinations in Baldur’s Gate 3 include:

  1. Druid 10 and Cleric 2 
  2. Warlock 2 and Sorcerer 10 
  3. Fighter 3 and Ranger 9 
  4. Paladin 3 and Sorcerer 2 and Warlock 7 
  5. Fighter 2 and Wizard 10
  6. Monk 2 and Cleric 10
  7. Paladin 7 and Bard 5 
  8. Fighter 8 and Barbarian 4
  9. Barbarian 5 and Rogue 7

What is multiclass in Baldur’s Gate 3?

Multiclassing abilities in BG3 originate from classic Dungeons & Dragons games. These games typically allowed players to mix and match to create uniquely powerful characters by accessing the strengths of different character classes. There are several classic combinations, of course, such as Sorcadin – a combination of Paladin with some traits and powers of Sorcerer.

Multiclass abilities are an essential staple in Baldur’s Gate 3. The game’s character level upgrade systems are incredibly flexible, allowing the players to endlessly combine their favorite classes with another, to chance at the creation of unique and distinct characters. Once you have enough experience points to boost your character’s levels, you can easily choose to partake in multiclass upgrades in BG3. 

Essentially, multiclassing can allow you to trade off some of the powerful raw abilities of a single class and create a versatile character that features the abilities of both classes. While it enables you to create master characters with rounded-off and versatile abilities, the resultant characters will not be able to perform their class-specific actions at the highest efficiency.
