Multiclassing

To qualify for any new class, you must always meet the ability score prerequisites for both your current class and your new one, as shown in the Multiclassing Prerequisites table. For example, a Lacer who decides to multiclass into the Samsari class must either have a Strength or Dexterity score of 13 or higher, as well as a Wisdom or Charisma score of 13 or higher. Without the full training that a beginning character receives, you must be naturally gifted in your new class, reflected by higher-than-average ability scores.

Multiclassing Prerequisites

When you gain a level in a class other than your first, you gain only some of that class's starting proficiencies, as shown in the Multiclassing Proficiencies table.

Multiclassing Proficiencies

When you gain a new level in a class, you gain its features for that level. Some features, however, have additional rules when multiclassing: Ki Points and Lacing.

If you already have a pool of ki points and gain a level in a class that also grants the feature, you simply add the new ki points to your pool. All ki points are used in the same way, and recovered in the same way (during a short rest), so there is no need to distinguish how many ki points you gain from any specific class. You can use any ki points you have to initiate any effect you know that requires them.

Your capacity for lacing depends partly on your combined levels in all your lacing classes, and partly on your individual levels in those classes. Once you have the Lacing feature from more than one class, use the rules below. If you multiclass but have the Lacing feature from only one class, you follow the rules as described in that class.

Ki Points. All lacing forms cost a set amount of ki points to initiate, no matter where you learn them from. In addition, all lacing forms are ki features, so you use your ki ability score to determine ki attacks and your ki save DC. If you have levels in classes that grant you more than one ki ability score, you can choose which score to use when initiating your lacing abilities.

Forms Known. You determine what forms you know for each individual as if you were a single-classed member of that class. If you are a lacer 2/samsari 3 who has chosen to be an airlacer, for example, you know two 1st-level airlacing forms based on your levels in the lacer class. As a 3rd-level samsari, you know four more airlacing forms, one of which can be 2nd-level.
