    What’s the issue with multi class casters? They will have more spell slots than single class casters, while in tabletop they don’t? How does it work?

        I’m confused how it’s a departure from 5e.

        When multiclassing, the levels of your classes and subclasses that normally have access to spell slots are added together in a weighted formula, and then the overall spellcasting level is used to determine how many and which levels of spell slots you will receive.

        Granted, we don’t know what that “weighted formula” specifically is, but isn’t that just how 5e normally is? A level 3 wizard + a level 2 ranger is treated as a level 4 caster when determining spell slots?

      I don’t plan to multiclass, but I thought the downside was you will not be able to get to high level in the classes you pick. I could be wrong. Anyone know?

      The level cap is 12 for single class, so 2 classes picked for multiclass would be 6 for each and level 4 for 3 classes?

      Anyone know?

      Any other negatives for multiclass?

      It’s odd, because what he described in the answer to the question in the linked article was exactly how multiclassing spellcasters works in 5e

      It feels like there’s some miscommunication going on - my gut feeling is that spellcaster multiclassing is going to be very similar to 5e base.
