Action Surge not showing up

[BigShotRogue]

I wonder if someone can help or know anything about this. My character started as a paladin but I multiclassed into a fighter. I got to level 2 and action surge never appeared. Has this happened to anyone else or know why its happened. My last character I could do this and its not working now

Press K and move the skill onto the skillbar.

The problem I'm having is that it's not there either. I can't find where it is at all

Are you sure you leveled up Fighter up to level 2 (So 3 levels, Pal 1 / Fighter 2) and did not just level up Paladin further?

[Rockpaw]

Just to double check. Do you have any mods that change classes? Another option could be to respec at Withers

[BigShotRogue]

I've levelled up further and she has 3 paladin and 2 fighter and the only mods I have are cosmetics from the actual mod manger from the game

Just spoke to Withers to do it the other way and I got action surge but my paladin smites are gone

Did you ever at any time have more mods than just cosmetics? Whether you have deleted them or not.

Some mods leave remnants behind that will absolutely mess with your game even when disabled/deleted.

You might need to follow this guide as a last resort:

If you're having a different but slightly similar problem and this thread wasn't helpful. Make a new one asking for assistance.

Did you ever manage to fix it? I’m having the same problem. Astarion has 3 lvls of Bard and I’m trying to do 2 lvls of fighter but action surge isn’t coming with the second lvl of fighter

2500 hours played on BG3, never had this issue, I multicalss all the time for the lvl2 action surge dip.
its either a MOD issue, as explained further up, or if you have never had any mods, plug in a controller. I did my first 1000 hours on keyboard mouse, the 1500 on controller. in my opinion controller is so much better.

A bit late to this. In my personal experience the problem was caused by the latest version of "Origin Feats." The problem disappeared when I backdated to an older version I had.

Question, (I haven't checked yet, but) how would I backdate the mod if I don't have the option in the mod menu?

You would uninstall it from the game mod menu and then install the older version via Nexus mods.

Or you could just uninstall it (and possibly start a new game until you get to level 2) to confirm that it was indeed the Origin feats mod causing the issue.
