Multiclassing


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Hey guys hit a bit of a road block with multi clashing. Can you multi-class a core class with a hybrid class. For example, say I'm a druid and I decide to take a level in hunter, a hunter is a hybrid of the Ranger and druid. Is that possible?


Yes


yes you could even be a barbarian bloodrager, scald, sorcerer and bard if you really wanted to grant it it would be pretty terrible but you could do it

Yes, I think the only classes that can not multiclass is Rogue with Ninja, and paladin with antipaladin. Technically there are other's but there are ways around them.

Yes. The Advanced Class Guide's playtest edition had a caveat saying that you can't multiclass a hybrid class with one of its parent classes, but they removed it with the official release.

Grand Lodge

as far as I know : the rogue/ninja no multiclassing is not linked to hybrid/parent class issue,
but more to the fact that they consider Ninja being a full-archetype of the rogue


Also, last time I checked, no multiclassing of Cavalier with Samurai.

Liberty's Edge

Right I forgot that one.


And no multiclassing barbarian, summoner, rogue, or monk with their respective unchained versions.


Yes you can, but there are a few limitations: Unless stated otherwise you can not stack abilities (For instance if you get sneak attack from slayer it will not add to rogue), and you must make similar choices (A skald bloodline must match a sorcerer)

a rogues sneak attack stacks with every other source of sneak attack i don't see why it wouldn't stack with a slayers sneak attack


In the description for parent classes

"Parent Classes: Each of the following classes draws upon two classes to form the basis of its theme. While a character can multiclass with these parent classes, doing so usually results in redundant abilities. Such abilities don't stack unless specified"

Personally I would allow them to in my game

In this case, it should be noted that both the Rogue class and the Slayer class lack the language that is included in most prestige classes that grant sneak attack damage about sneak attack damage from other classes stacking.


it's also found in many archetypes or other ways to gain sneak attack, but not all.
