[QUOTE="Illithidbix, post: 6844170, member: 12283"] [b]You cannot prepare or know spells of a higher level than a single class spellcaster with equal level in that class can cast. Even if your total character spell casting levels allow you access to higher level spell slots.[/b] Look at page 164, specifically the carefully chosen example, since the example drives home a few points in a way that is easier than the raw text. They then present a Ranger 4/Wizard 3, so they have the spell slots of a 5th level multiclass spellcaster, which also is exactly as many spellslots as a 5th level Wizard or 5th Level Cleric or 5th Level Druid or 5th Level Bard (or 10th level Ranger etc). So 4 1st level spell slots, 3 2nd level spells and 2 3rd level spell slots. [b]However you don't know any 3rd level spells, nor do you know any 2nd -level ranger spells.[/b] Here are the tweets from Mearls, Crawford and co on the subject: [url]https://thesageadvice.wordpress.com/2014/09/19/multiclass-caster-spellbook/[/url] [MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford Can a MC Wizard 2/Cleric 18 learn a 3rd level spell, i.e fireball that he would find on is adventure? [MENTION=6701422]Plaguescarred[/MENTION] That character wouldn't be able to learn fireball, since he doesn't have enough levels in the wizard class. [MENTION=4036]Jeremy[/MENTION]ECrawford : cleric 2/wizard 2 finds a 2nd level spell in a book. By multiclassing rule he has 4 1st and 3 2nd level slots? can he copy 2nd level wiz spell into his book even though Wiz 2 can't normally cast 2nd level spells? and then cast [MENTION=2463]Allensh[/MENTION]ock1 No, and he can use those 2nd-level slots only to cast 1st-level spells.
