Rules Questions


I had a question about multiclassing Sorcerer/Bard/Paladin/Ect.

If I understand "Spell-slots" correctly, it works a bit like specific "mana" for certain spell-levels. For example if you have 4 spell-slots for 3rd level spells you can use for example: 4 spells that uses one spell-slots each or two that uses 2 slots each?

Also what happens when you multiclass two ( or more ) classes that draws their powers from different sources.

For example a Sorcerer and a Paladin. Does both sorcerer and paladin skills share the Spell-slot pools or do the different classes get there own spell-slot pool?


Each class's slot are tracked separately.


Even Sorcerer and Wizard? Or Paladin and Cleric combo?

Also, the Sorcerers "Arcane"-bloodline feature "Arcane Bond" does it allow the Sorcerer to have a familiar or if chosen an bound object?


Every class's spells are tracked individually. There is no pooling of spells.

You may choose to have a familiar or an arcane bond as a sorcerer with the arcane bloodline.

PS:The only way to use one class's slot for another class is to go Mystic Theurge, but it is better to use the original class's slots.

PS2:There is feat that I believe allows you to do it, but it is not efficient either.

edit:For the feat one class must be arcane and the other must be divine.

But the use of magic is correct? ( See the first post )


Sorry for DP:

But there is no target DC for casting a spell unless you are under pressure?

Because I can't find it anywhere.


There's no target DC for casting a spell unless you are working under adverse conditions. Then a concentration check may be required. But even the heat of battle isn't enough; you have to take damage, try to cast in a storm, try to avoid dropping your guard aka casting defensively, etc.


Each spell only uses one slot.

What do mean for target DC for casting under pressure? Are you asking about concentration checks?

PS:Mana does not exist in the game. Because of how technical the game is you should always use the correct words.
