Fix Missing Multiclass Option in Baldur's Gate 3

You are trying to build your perfect character, but the 'Add Class' button is nowhere to be found on your level-up screen. It feels like your game is bugged, but it is actually just a hidden restriction tied to your current difficulty setting.

Why it is hidden

Multiclassing is intentionally disabled while playing on Explorer difficulty. The game hides the interface entirely until you switch to a higher difficulty setting.

What you need

You will need 100 gold if you need to respec an existing character with Withers, or simply enough experience to reach your next level.

Steps

1. 01
   Open your game menu, go to Difficulty settings, and switch your difficulty to Balanced or higher.
2. 02
   Click the level-up arrow on your character portrait to open the level-up screen.
3. 03
   Locate the Add Class icon in the top-right corner of the interface, which features two crossed weapons and a plus symbol.
4. 04
   Select your new class from the list and confirm your level-up choices.
5. 05
   If you are already high-level and want to switch builds, go to your camp and talk to Withers to pay 100 gold for a respec.

Still not working?

If you are on Balanced difficulty and still cannot see the button, ensure you are not currently in the middle of a dialogue or cutscene that prevents UI interaction. If the button remains missing, verify your game files through Steam or your launcher to ensure no core UI assets were corrupted during a recent patch.

Frequently asked questions

Can I switch back to Explorer difficulty after multiclassing?

Yes, once you have added your second class, you can safely return to the game settings and set the difficulty back to Explorer without losing your new class.

Do I need specific stats to multiclass like in D&D?

No, Baldur's Gate 3 removes the ability score requirements found in tabletop Dungeons and Dragons, allowing you to add any class regardless of your current stats.

Does multiclassing affect my total level cap?

No, your level cap remains 12 regardless of how many classes you mix. Your total level is the sum of the levels you have invested across all classes.
