Talk:Pact of the Blade (passive feature)

How is which Spellcasting Ability Modifier is being used determined when multiclassing?

I have read conflicting information about how this passive feature determines the Spellcasting Ability Modifier of the character. Does anyone know, how it is determined? I have read that it does not pick Charisma or the highest Ability Score, but the one associated with the class you took the most levels in. If they are equal, it supposedly picks the higher score. However, items seem to determine the Spellcasting Ability Modifier of the character based on the last class, you took a first level in (e.g. the last class you multiclassed into) and the Wiki states as much on the Spells page. Does Pact of the Blade follow a different rule? It seems like a mess if the game uses multiple different ways of determining the Spellcasting Ability Modifiers of a given character at the same time. - A
