Multiclass
From NWN2Wiki
A character with more than one class is considered to be multiclassed or multiclassing.
While this allows a character to gain access to the features of many classes at the same time, it also risks a multiclass penalty.
Many class features rely on the number of class levels, so there's a possibility that a multiclassed character could be spread too thin to be effective in all areas.
e.g.
a wizard 1 / rogue 5 multiclass can only cast the same spells (both in power and quantity) as a 1st level wizard, irrespective of the 5 rogue levels.
You start with your Base Class and then somewhere on your Next Level you decide to select a Different Class from your Base class; The character must still meet the requirements for that class (usually an alignment restriction for base classes, but more elaborate pre-requisites for prestige classes). The NEW class that you selected will be starting at Level 1 Class level.
- NO, You do NOT Skip the Class level of your initial Base class, when you continue on Leveling your original Base class, Nor the other Class you selected.
| Character / Race | C L A S S | Class Level |
| Level 1 | your Original Base Class Level | 1 |
| Level 2 | your Original Base Class Level | 2 |
| Level 3 | 2nd Class Level selected | 1 |
| Level 4 | your Original Base Class Level | 3 |
| Level 5 | 3rd Class Level selected | 1 |
| Level 6 | your Original Base Class Level | 4 |
| Level 7 | 3rd Class Level selected | 2 |
| Level 8 | 2nd Class Level selected | 2 |
| Level 9 | 2nd Class Level selected | 3 |
| Level 10 | 2nd Class Level selected | 4 |
| Level 11 | 3rd Class Level selected | 3 |
| Level 12 | your Original Base Class Level | 5 |
Well, You get the Idea. ^_^
- You will also suffer Multiclass penalty for such decisions, but there are Exceptions.
