The total amount of spell slots a spellcaster would get is dependent upon their '''Effective Spellcaster Level (ESL).''' For full spellcasters ({{Class|Bard}}s, {{Class|Cleric}}s, {{Class|Druid}}s, {{Class|Sorcerer}}s, and {{Class|Wizard}}s) this is exactly their class level (A level 5 wizard has an Effective Spellcaster Level of 5); "Half-spellcasters" ({{Class|Ranger}}s and {{Class|Paladin}}s), are not considered spellcasters until class level 2, at which point their Effective Spellcaster Level is their class level halved | The total amount of spell slots a spellcaster would get is dependent upon their '''Effective Spellcaster Level (ESL).'''

"One-third-spellcasters" ({{Class|Arcane Trickster}}s and {{Class|Eldritch Knight}}s) are all subclasses that can only be taken at class level three, their Effective Spellcaster Level is their class level divided by three. For the purpose of determining Spell Slot Distribution the Effective Spellcaster Level is '''rounded up'''. | ||
<!-- In 5e, ESL of a multiclassed character rounds down immediately after division and the results are then summed up. We don't know how Larian handles multiclassing yet, So I've elected to omit this detail. --> | |||
Once the Effective Spellcaster Level is known, one can consult the following table to find out their character's spell slot distribution: | Once the '''Effective Spellcaster Level''' is known, one can consult the following table to find out their character's spell slot distribution: | ||
