What is a Dual-Class Character

Although the basic rules provide for Multi-Classing, what happens if you've reached level 8 as a Fighter, but all the time you've spent hanging out with your Cleric ally has got you re-thinking your path?

You can look into Dual-Classing. By dual-classing, you can change your class later in the game, or alternatively become a multi-class character, despite not starting 1st level as one.

How to Dual-Class

At any point during your adventure, you can dual-class. To do so, you must:

• Get GM approval for the Dual-Class character. In many cases, you should have a campaign reason for changing classes, not a character power reason.
• Finish an initial training, that requires a downtime event.

Additionally, dual-classing has a few requirements:

• You must meet all requirements for both the class you are entering, and the class you are leaving.
  • For example, if your character's ability scores have changed due to age, you may no longer meet the ability score requirements of your current class.
• Elves, or any creature with a similar life-span, cannot dual-class.
  • Their view on life is completely foreign to those who have shorter life-spans, and as such, the way they see their life-paths is completely different as well.

Finally, you should note that you can only Dual-Class one time in your Character’s lifespan.

Announcing the Dual-Class

When you are ready to dual-class, you announce to your GM that you wish to dual-class after XP has been handed out for a session. Your GM will work with you on the downtime event, and timing of when you start the dual-class.

Note, that you can Dual-Class into classes that don't normally allow multi-classing, and you can also dual-class into a class that has the same Archetypes as your current class, but with some restrictions.

Becoming a Dual-Class Character

After finishing the downtime events, and at the start of the next session, your character starts at 1st level as their new class, but has some special provisions.

• Your Grit remains the same as your previous class, unless and until the new class's grit is higher.
• Your Offence Bonus, Defense Bonus, and Saving Throws, become that of your new class.
• Your Spell Bonus stays the same for the purposes of your old class, however if your new class also has a spell bonus, you treat your Spell Bonuses and Spell Tables separately, as you would a multi-class character.
• You do not gain additional weapon proficiency points, and start gaining them again when your new class’s Offence Bonus overtakes your previous class’s offence bonus.
