For example, a level four fighter wishes to cast spells, so he takes a level of wizard. The problem is that if you have a lot of levels in one class, and only a few in another, some of your skills will be quite useless, especially at higher levels. Now it is true that the top level is thirty and not twenty, so it is possible to get two classes really high. The only really thing you¿ll accomplish by doing it is gimping your character at the later levels. The truth is that there is no real benefit to multi-classing in this game.

The manual explain the experience penalty system very well, so refer to it there. Remember that there is a penalty for having too many classes, especially if you are levelling them at different speeds. Since there are no prestige classes in the game, I suggest to never multi-class a character, unless you are after specific bonuses (such as all the free feats that a fighter gets) for getting the levels of another class. I usually opt for a second spellcaster, but once again, it is up to you.īefore going into the individual character classes, I want to lay down my notes on multi-classing in the game. The last character can be of any class, so have fun with this one. Basically, I suggest having a pair of fighter characters (not as in the fighter class, but just melee characters), a rogue (or bard, if you are feeling adventurous), a cleric (or druid, if one of your fighters is a paladin), and a wizard (sorcerers just don't compare at later levels). That way you will have all the needed abilities at your disposal, and will be thankful for having them later.Ī balanced party consists of front line tanks, a rogue, and magical support. Having a balanced party is a necessary thing to ensure survival, especially for beginners. The easiest way through the game is to have a balanced party. There are no right and wrong parties ¿ any party combination can be successful, but the difficulty of the game will reflect on your choices.

This section of the guide is meant to help you choose a successful party.
