Multiclass Question

[Hyndrays]

What would happen if you were to multiclass a Swashbuckler with a Gunslinger? Does anything say you can't? How would the Grit and Panache interact?

From what I can find, it's perfectly legal. I'm not sure how the Panache and Grit would function together though.

My buddy, on the other hand, seems to want to fight me to the death saying that I'm not allowed to do this.

Grit and Panache are explicitly stated to stack.

You can run that multiclass just fine. Ask him to find a stated rule that says you can't; there isn't one (there was, during the playtest. It died in holy fire). To writ:

Grit, Luck, and Panache wrote:

Grit, luck, and panache represent three different means by which heroes can gain access to the same heroic pool, using it to accomplish fantastic feats. For characters with a mix of grit, luck, and panache, they pool the resources together into a combined pool. (Those who use panache and luck gain twice their Charisma bonus in their pool.) For feats, magic items, and other effects, a panache user can spend and gain luck points in place of grit or panache points, and vice versa.

A luck user does not count as a grit or panache user to satisfy feat prerequisites.

Yes, your friend is likely remembering the playtest restriction that you couldn't combine levels of a hybrid class with levels of its parent classes.

In this example, a Swashbuckler was unable to multiclass with Fighter or Gunslinger.

But it's legal, now.
