Heavy Armor Proficiency with Multiclassing

[Marcus]

If I begin the game as fighter and then level warlock, I have heavy armor proficieny

Other way around, if I begin as warlock and level fighter I don't.

Why is that? I want to multiclass those and wear heavy armor yet want my original class to be warlock.

Unless the Subclass of the class you multiclass into, grants Heavy Armour....you can't get that proficiency by multiclassing.

This table tells you what proficiencies you get when you multiclass into a class
https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Classes#Multiclassing

If you want it, the best way to do it is start with Fighter

The rules say so

It's one of those DND rules that doesn't make sure much sense.

In this game it makes it so you're better off respeccing to start with the class that has the most proficiency and best saves later.

It makes quite a lot sense.

It's one of those things that makes more sense in context of the TT game where you can't respec at the drop of a hat. Your first class level is the one where you spent more time training in as part of your background, so you get greater access to the initial class benefits.

I see, do you guys also know if there is a way to use Warlock tag for conversations?

Idk why but most of time dialogues have fighter option although I have more level in warlock. Yet some of them also/or has warlock options.

You get automatically the class tags for dialogue in any classes you have level in. Whether a dialogue offer a specific class option or not is another story.

In the tabletop I would agree with you as you're meant to plan out the character etc. Perhaps even from a roleplay perspective.

But in BG3 you can literally always respec for a low cost. So it doesn't make much sense here imo.

It's dumb.

Nice then, thanks

There are interactions where being a warlock matters, like in act 1 I think you can pop shadowheart out without the rune, but they are very few and far between compared to every other class. There are almost zero conversation options.

Dip in Ranger instead, 1 level on them give you access to "favoured Enemy - Ranger Knight" that gives you History and Heavy Armor proficiency.

Don't know which build you're doing, but if you don't mind give up Warlock 11 and miss the Mystic Arcanum, that's just a lvl 6 spell you can cast once per long rest, dip 2 levels in ranger and you get access to Weapon Proficiency and +1 to your effective caster level.

Seems to me you are mixing things up there. Maybe you want to explain it more.
