BG3 Multiclassing Spell Slots Explained 2026 Guide

Master BG3 multiclassing spell slots in 2026 with this definitive guide for Baldur's Gate 3. Multiclassing adds depth to your builds, but spell slot calculations can be tricky—we break it down step-by-step for optimal caster hybrids.

Based on D&D 5e rules adapted for BG3, multiclass spell slots pool from Druid, Cleric, Paladin, and half-caster levels differently from full casters like Wizard or Sorcerer. Whether you're theorycrafting a Bladesinger/Paladin or Moon Druid/Barbarian, this covers all combinations.

Multiclass Spell Slot Table Basics

Use the multiclass spellcasting table: add full caster levels fully, half-casters (Paladin, Ranger) at half, others at 1/3. Total determines slots per level.

  • Wizard/Sorcerer/Bard/Druid: full
  • Paladin/Ranger: 1/2 levels
  • Warlock: separate slots

Step-by-Step Calculation Example

1. Level 6 Wizard (6) + Level 3 Paladin (1.5) = 7.5 → Level 4 caster. 2. Check table for slots: 4/3/3/1. 3. Warlock slots remain independent.

  • Round down fractions
  • Max equivalent Level 20
  • Short rest recharges Warlock
