Question about conflicting multiclass rules.


Rules Discussion


I have read a few post about how the ancient elf causes all kinds of problems. But not come across this one I believe. So let me explain the build then my question.

Lvl 1 ancient elf with the alchemist dedication. Wizard class with the runelord specilaziation.

Here is my confusion. The alchemist dedication states I have to get 2 other feats from the alchemist class before I can get another dedication. But the runelord also states I have to take the runelord dedication as my 2nd lvl class feat.

So. At lvl 2, what dedication feat do I take? I haven't played this, still in the building stages.


IMO you can't. If you take Ancient Elf to take an MC dedication you automatically is restricted to take any other dedication feat. So you are unable to select a Class Archetype too due the Special restriction.

It's a mess. Similar to the Ancient Elf / Eldritch Trickster situation.


I think the technical answer is that combination just kind of breaks and isn't valid anymore at level 2, but I'd be surprised if many GMs ran it that way and am guessing most would say to just take runelord dedication at 2nd level. Beyond that I'd expect a lot of table variation.

Pretty much this, because when it comes down to it all the things you want from runelord and whatever anchient elf archetype you take are competing for your already limited class feats. So no matter what combination you come up with you aren't gaining any more power. In fact without extra class feats this really spreads a character thin, so I would allow it at my table, but the rules strictly as is wouldn't allow it.
