dual class doesnt get feats at level 8? (lvl 2 paladin, lvl 6 bard)

[Aurite]

I thought I got a feat at level 8? Does duel classing mean I am missing a feat?

[Marshall]

yep. i just modded mine

Feats are based on *class* levels, not character levels.

[MeldinX2]

You need level 8 in one class to get it.

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

Feats are tied to class level, not character level.

It's stupid.

So if you wanted the 3 feats you would need to do 4 + 4 + 4, so paladin 4, bard 4 and then bard or paladin 4?

Or single-class to 12, or do 8 + 4.

doh, which means I cant get to level 12 to get the 3rd feat if I am multiclass because the game only goes to elvel 12?

[The Vagrant Knight]

it's based on the class' level. you can still get all 3 feats by leveling 8 + 4 or something similar. Just ask yourself when you level though. Is an extra feat worth more than the class features you'll unlock in your multiclass.

[Sentient_Toaster]

You can actually get four feats with a multiclass, because fighters get a feat/ASI at 6, not just 4/8/12.

So, fighter 1-8 gets you three feat/ASI picks, then four levels in any other class gets you another.

Rogue 1-10 also gets you three feat/ASI picks because they get an extra pick at 10, but you can't get a fourth with just two levels.

They get feats at 4, 8 and 12 (and 6 is fighter). If you multiclass and reach those thresholds you can have up to 4 even multiclassing. If you don't, you'll miss one or more.

Nope! You get class feats every 4 levels in a class. So you can go 4, 4, and 4 in 3 classes, 8 and 4 in 2 classes, or all 12 in 1 class to get all your feats. Your character level will still be 12 at the end, just not your class levels.

As said, feats are given every 4th CLASS level, not every 4th character level. You need to account for that when planning your multiclassing.

yarg, bleh.

Ok thanks to everyone for the assistance, I appreciate it :)

You still got time to get all the feats, if you go up to 8th level on bard, and 4th on paladin.

That might not be the most efficient use of the build though, as it also does depend on what class features you are getting for those levels. Sometimes it's totally worth sacrificing an ASI/feat for some other more useful ability/synergy.

I'm not familiar enough with bard to comment on that (I've never played a bard in BG3 nor in 5E tabletop).
