In Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, multiclass characters can select abilities from two classes, but gain access to higher power levels of class abilities more slowly and cannot access their classes' highest level abilities. Single-class characters are entirely focused on their chosen class and gain access to higher ability power levels more quickly. Multiclass characters are generally not recommended for new players.
Multiclassing rules[ | ]
Multiclassing allows a character to essentially have two classes at once. Multiclassing is selected at character creation and cannot be added or altered later.
- As stated above, multiclass characters cannot access the highest power level abilities (Power Level 8/VIII and 9/IX) of their classes and unlock new power levels more slowly.
- At every third level gained (1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19) they unlock a new power level and gain an ability in both of their classes. At other levels, they only gain one ability point which can be spent in either class.
- Base health and defense values are the average of the two classes, rounded down.
- Initial skill bonuses from class are averaged between the two classes. For example while a Priest gets a +2 bonus to Alchemy, a Mystic (Cipher + Priest) will get +1, as the average of a Priest's +2 and a Cipher's +0 is 1.
Multiclass names[ | ]
Each multiclass combination has an unique name associated with it. The name has no effect on gameplay.
