Cantrips act like 4e’s At-Will spells and as such level with each “tier” in 5e to maintain their usefulness. Tying this to character level means that players who multiclass or for example start off with a free cantrip (such as High Elves) are still able to make use of those cantrips throughout the whole of the game.
Do cantrips level up?
Cantrips scale with the character level. Cantrips scale according to your character level, not your class level.
Can a multiclass spellcaster cast only wizard spells?
There aren’t ‘Wizard’ or ‘Cleric’ slots, for example – just ‘spell slots’. So your PC might cast only Eldritch Knight spells with all their slots or only Wizard spells with all their slots or some combination of both. So, yes, you should ignore the class tables and just look at the table for multiclass spellcasters.
Can You multiclass a spellcaster in D & D 5e?
But first, multiclassing. Multiclassing can be tricky, especially if you don’t read all the guidelines. Which is what I did the first time I had a player that wanted to multiclass in 5e. I made it way more difficult than it needed to be and made her use two separate spell sheets to track spell slots for each class indvidually.
Do you get to use your wisdom as a spellcaster?
You do not get to cast your wizard spells using your Wisdom as the spellcasting ability. Say that you are a 4th-level druid who gains a level in cleric. According to the Multiclass Spellcaster: Spell Slots per Spell Level table on page 165 of the Player’s Handbook, you have access to 3rd-level spell slots.
How many spells do you need to multiclass?
You currently need to invest in 3 different spellcasting abilities on top of Dexterity for AC and Constitution for concentration saves. You’re also missing out on higher level spells like Dispel Magic, Fireball and Revivify that lower level spells simply can’t imitate even with higher level slots.
