But a level 2 Fighter can't be an Eldritch Knight, and a level 2 Rogue can't be an Arcane Trickster, so constructing the rule to avoid...

Silam replied to the thread D&D General Why is the multi-classing spell slot math so weird?.Right... I'm amazed at how often 5e wording is unclear... I think I've said this before, but back in the days of the 2e and 3.5e, we...

It depends on the spell too. Some spells (great ones even) had a fixed dc for some of what they did. Sleet storm and web are the only...

Silam replied to the thread D&D General Why is the multi-classing spell slot math so weird?.I thought the RAW were to divide by 3, add the fractions, and then round down. If that’s true, then an AT5/EK5 would get a CL of 3, not...

Silam replied to the thread D&D General Why is the multi-classing spell slot math so weird?.Yeah. Moreover, another difference was that upcasting barely existed in 3.5e. There were "heightened spells" which was effectively a...

Silam replied to the thread D&D General Why is the multi-classing spell slot math so weird?.Yes, I agree in principle… that could be an elegant way of "smoothing out" the spell slot progression for these "fractional levels"...

Silam replied to the thread D&D General Why is the multi-classing spell slot math so weird?.These are interesting thoughts... I do agree that Magic Initiate goes a long way. It's a pretty powerful feat. And especially with some...

Getting to round up as a single class character versus down as a multiclass character is likely intentional. The point that it makes...

It is weird, but it also isn't. Alice is at the bottom of that tier of spell slots, while Bob is at the top. The one level of wizard is...

Silam replied to the thread D&D General Why is the multi-classing spell slot math so weird?.IIUC, by the RAW, all classes round up while pure, but the EK and AT transition to rounding down when multi-classing.

It IS weird. The root cause is the "round down" rule, which causes the discrepancy because the actual single class progression for...

Silam replied to the thread D&D General Why is the multi-classing spell slot math so weird?.I may be missing something but I don’t understand what you mean here… At Wizard7/EK3, the effective caster level would be 8th, which...
