| In the case of [[Multiclassing]], learned class spells will use the '''Spellcasting Ability Modifier''' for the class the spell is learned by. So a '''[[Fire Bolt]]''' learned by a [[Wizard]] will use '''INT''' for its attack rolls, but a '''Fire Bolt''' learned by a [[Sorcerer]] will use '''CHA''' for its attack rolls.
| | Spells learned from taking levels in a class will use that class' spellcasting ability modifier. |
|
| |
|
| For spells on items ([[Weapons]], [[Equipment]], [[Scrolls]]... etc.), the most recent class that was multiclassed into takes precedence in the '''Spellcasting Ability Modifier'''. As an example, a character with the level progression {{InfoBlob|<nowiki>Wizard 1, Wizard 2, Sorcerer 1, Wizard 3</nowiki>}} will use '''CHA''' for item spellcasting, because Sorcerer is the latest "new" class for the character. If the same character then takes {{InfoBlob|<nowiki>Cleric 1</nowiki>}}, [[Cleric]] would be the latest new class, and '''WIS''' will now be used for item spellcasting for this character. Finally, if the same character then levels up their {{InfoBlob|<nowiki>Sorcerer 2</nowiki>}}, they would still continue to use '''WIS''' for item spellcasting as no "new" class was added since Cleric. | | For spells from other sources, the most recent class that was multiclassed into takes precedence for determining which spellcasting ability modifier to use. |

| However, although taking one level in the [[Barbarian]] class changes the '''Spellcasting Ability Modifer''' to '''CHA''' (despite barbarians having no use for this stat if they are not specialised in [[Wild Magic (Barbarian Subclass)|Wild Magic]]), [[Fighter|Fighters]] and [[Rogue|Rogues]] will only provide their spellcasting ability if they are level 3 and have the appropriate subclass ([[Eldritch Knight]] and [[Arcane Trickster]] respectively). So, {{InfoBlob|<nowiki>Ranger 1, Barbarian 1, Rogue 1</nowiki>}} will use '''CHA''' instead of '''INT''' for item and illithid spellcasting.
| | A character with the level progression {{InfoBlob|<nowiki>wizard 1, wizard 2, sorcerer 1, wizard 3</nowiki>}} will use CHA for item spellcasting, because sorcerer is the latest "new" class for the character. If the same character then takes {{InfoBlob|<nowiki>cleric 1</nowiki>}}, cleric would be the latest new class, and WIS will now be used for item spellcasting for this character. Finally, if the same character then picks {{InfoBlob|<nowiki>sorcerer 2</nowiki>}}, they would still continue to use WIS for item spellcasting as no new class was added since cleric.{{verify}} |

| | Fighter and rogues will only provide their spellcasting ability if they are level 3 and have the appropriate subclass ([[Eldritch Knight]] and [[Arcane Trickster]] respectively): {{InfoBlob|<nowiki>ranger 1, barbarian 1, rogue 1</nowiki>}} will use CHA instead of INT for item and illithid spellcasting. |
