How to Unlock Multiclassing in Baldur's Gate 3

You are trying to add a second class to your character, but the multiclass option is nowhere to be found on your level-up screen. This happens because your game difficulty is set to Explorer, which completely disables the multiclassing feature in Baldur's Gate 3.

Why the option is missing

The game restricts multiclassing on the easiest difficulty setting. Once you switch to Balanced or Tactician, the game engine allows you to add classes freely with no stat requirements.

Steps

1. 01
   Open your game menu and navigate to the Difficulty settings, then change your difficulty to Balanced or higher.
2. 02
   Trigger a level-up for your character and click the level-up button on your character portrait to open the level-up screen.
3. 03
   Locate the Add Class button in the top-right corner of the level-up box, identified by an icon of two crossed weapons with a plus sign.
4. 04
   Select the new class you want to add to your character from the list provided.
5. 05
   If you are already a higher level and missed your chance to add a class, head to your camp and talk to Withers to pay 100 gold for a respec, allowing you to re-level your character with the multiclass option.

Still not working?

If you have switched to Balanced difficulty and still do not see the icon, ensure you are not currently in the middle of a dialogue or cutscene that prevents level progression. If you are using mods that alter game UI or class structures, disable them temporarily to see if they are hiding the Add Class button.

Frequently asked questions

Will changing the difficulty back to Explorer remove my second class?

No, your multiclass build will remain intact if you switch the difficulty back after you have successfully added the class.

Do I need specific stats to multiclass like in Dungeons and Dragons?

No, Baldur's Gate 3 removes the traditional stat requirements for multiclassing, so you can freely mix any two classes regardless of your ability scores.

Can I have more than two classes at once?

Yes, you can continue to add different classes each time you level up, provided you remain within the level 12 cap.
