Doubleclassing
Doubleclassing
Alternate Multiclassing
Instead of Multiclassing into a different class, you may choose to Multiclass into your own class, following the rules detailed in this handbook. Always consult with your GM before Doubleclassing, as they always have the last word.
How to Doubleclass
In order to Doubleclass, you must first have at least 3 levels into a single class, and you must meet the ability score requirements to Multiclass out of your current class. For example, if you wish to Doubleclass a Wizard, you must first reach 3rd level in the Wizard clas, and must have an Intelligence Score of 13 or higher. After Doubleclassing, each instance of your class is called a Halfclass.
Features you gain after Doubleclassing for the first time are divided into:
- Stackable: You gain the feature or you add together the charges of said feature together for every Halfclass that reaches the unlock level for that feature.
- Scalable: You add both your Halfclass levels together to determine the level of the feature.
- Unique: You can only benefit from this feature once, regardless if you reach the feature's unlock level with both Halfclasses.
Proficiencies and Doubleclassing
When you Doubleclass, you do not gain additional proficiencies (weapon, armor, tool, skill, or save).
Subclasses and Doubleclassing
If you reach a Halfclass level that makes you eligible for a subclass, you MUST choose a different subclass than the one chosen for your other Halfclass.
Spellcasting and Doubleclassing
Just like Multiclassing, when Doubleclassing, you add together both your Halfclass levels together to determine your known cantrips, your known spells (if applicable), the amount of spells you can prepare at the end of a Long Rest (if applicable), and your spell slots.
- Subclass Spells: Subclass-specific spells (whether they are always prepared or are added to your class' spell list), are still based on your Halfclass' level.
Multiclassing and Doubleclassing
You may still Multiclass while Doubleclassing (with your GM's permission). You must meet the ability score requirements for your new class as always.
