For example, a barbarian who decides to multiclass into the druid class must have both Strength and Wisdom scores of 13 or higher. To qualify for a new class you must meet the ability score prerequisites for both your current class and your new one, as shown in the Multiclassing Prerequisites table. If the player wishes to multiclass into vampire, so be it, but if they don’t want to interrupt their current leveling path it’s up to the DM to determine an alternate route for them to either be cured, or instead show signs of vampirism as described in the vampire and vampire spawn stat blocks. If an adventurer was bitten by a vampire and their player hadn’t already expressed an interest in taking levels in the vampire class, then it’s time for the DM and player to discuss the matter away from the table. Likewise, these classes are not things that should ever be forced on a player. One does not simply decide to “take a level in Woad Warrior” without a narrative reason. These class options generally involve a high degree of outside influence on an adventurer. 1Ĭommunication is key when planning a cursed class. For example, they may receive an “advance” on their level, taking their new cursed class level early and foregoing the next level-up when they reach the appropriate milestone. If it’s an inappropriate time to gain a level, either because the party is tracking experience points or because few significant events have happened since the last milestone was passed, it might be a good time to work out a deal with the afflicted player. ![]() However, Dungeons & Dragons is an organic game and situations aren’t always ideal. Ideally a Dungeon Master can time this event to occur when everyone would naturally gain a level. For classes that change more dramatically or abruptly, the new cursed class level should be taken immediately. As it turns out, they weren’t “alright” after all. Once they have received their level, their curse can manifest fully. Mechanically speaking, it means that they won’t immediately gain a level in their new cursed class but instead, they will gain that level the next time they would level up. For classes that may be steadily transformative such as the vampire, lycanthrope, or floraspawn, some time may pass between when they become afflicted with the curse and when it takes hold. For players and Dungeon Masters this has a significant impact on when and how a level in a new cursed class is taken. Someone bitten by a lycanthrope or vampire might feel alright for a little while, whereas someone whose soul has been ripped out of their body and put into a suit of armor is going to immediately take notice. Not all curses show their full effects instantaneously. What matters is that the curse has now become a part of them and what happens next will impact their growth. Whether someone is bitten, resurrected, marked, infected, overgrown, or in some other way afflicted, doesn’t necessarily matter from a mechanical standpoint.
