[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9652614, member: 2209"] Correct. Any class, any alignment. It has been that way for the last 17 years of D&D. 4e and 5e both. Mostly correct. D&D has done away with racial restrictions on classes and multiclassing for 25 years, since 3.0, 3.5, 4e, and 5e. 4e was a bit more restrictive on multiclassing with limited gaining of powers from secondary classes but no limits on races or stats. 5e has some minimal stats to multiclass into specific classes but no limits on how many or which races can do so. Multiclassing also works differently than in AD&D, closer to the switch class rules for humans. Each level in 3e and 5e you pick one class to advance one level. So you could be a seventh level character with two levels of wizard (second level caster spells only) and five levels of fighter. 4e went a little different, you don't fully multiclass like in AD&D or 3e or 5e, you either take feats (similar to nonweapon proficiencies) to give you a class power and count as that class for power purposes and to take further class specific feats, or you build a hybrid class with some of the features of the two classes.
