Editing Classes

| image = Fighter Badge Icon.png

A character's class in [[Baldur's Gate 3]] is one of their primary defining features. Each class represents a different calling, and each offers a number of unique abilities, powers, and skills that influence how that character interacts with the world. Classes determine most of a character's abilities - both in and out of combat. As a character advances in levels in a class they will gain incredible new powers and abilities.

* A multiclassed character does not receive all of the [[Proficiency|proficiencies]] of their new class. Multiclassing never grants saving throw proficiencies. A multiclassed character's [[Die_Rolls#Proficiency_Bonus|proficiency bonus]] increases as normal, however.

* A multiclassed character receives all proficiencies from a chosen subclass - for instance, while multiclassing into Fighter does not grant Heavy Armour proficiency, multiclassing into War Cleric does, since the proficiency belongs to the subclass rather than the main class.

Note that each new class gained through multiclassing begins at level one, and all chosen classes are levelled separately. For example, If a character has taken three levels in bard, and chooses to multiclass and takes one level of sorcerer, they will have access to traits for levels one through three of bard, and access to the traits for a level one sorcerer. They will {{em|not}} have access to level four traits of bard, despite being level four overall.
