It is similar to the 3.5 gestalt rules, however, it is my hope to not have to limit the character through XP or some other drawback to make this work. The best area, in my opinion, for limiting a dual - classed character is through the class features. If they dual class, they limit themselves by having less class features than a single classes character. I wrote all class features below but that is not my intent. I thought that we could determine jointly which features should be dropped from a dual classed character.So, how do you triple class? dual class and then take the feats to gain a third class. Easy.All constructive ideas welcome.DUAL-CLASSINGAt first level, you can select two classes to advance in simultaneously. The multi-classing by feats are still available to both dual-classed characters and single classed characters.Example: A level 1 Ranger/Wizard is a viable option for a starting character.Armor ProficienciesUse the class with the worst armor proficiencyWeapon ProficienciesProficiency in all available weapons from both classesBonus to Defense Gain 2 points of defense out of the available from both classes Example: A Fighter/Wizard can put 2 in will or fortitude or 1 in each.Hit Points and SurgesHit Points and Surges will be based on the two roles of the Dual-Classed characterDefender/Defender = HP 15 + con score at 1st and 6/level thereafter, Surges 9 + con modController/Controller = HP 10 + con score at 1st and 4/level thereafter, Surges 6 + con modAll others = HP 12 + con score at 1st and 5/level thereafter, Surges 6 + con modTrained SkillsGet the free ones and then your overall total is equal to your class with the highest.Example: Cleric/Rogue would have religion, thievery and stealth and pick 3 others because a rogue can have a total of 6.Class FeaturesDepending upon your classes you also gain the following class features:Cleric- Channel Divinity, Healer’s Lore, Healing Word, Ritual Casting, Deity Selection, Implement: Holy SymbolFighter- Combat Challenge, Combat Superiority, Fighter Weapon TalentPaladin- Channel Divinity, Divine Challenge, Lay on Hands, Deity Selection, Implement: Holy Symbol, Holy AvengerRanger- Fighting Style, Hunter’s Quarry, Prime ShotRogue- First Strike, Rogue Tactics, Rogue Weapon Talent, Sneak AttackWarlock- Eldritch Pact, Prime Shot, Shadow Walk, Warlock’s Curse, Implement: Rod, Wand, Pact BladeWarlord- Combat Leader, Commanding Presence, Inspiring WordWizard- Arcane Implement Mastery, Cantrips, Ritual Casting, Spellbook, Implements: Orb, Staff, WandPower SelectionSelect your powers from all available classes.
