Starting This Mess
Right so yesterday I sat down to plan some BG3 multiclassing nonsense. Wanted Fighter plus Mage plus Rogue. Saw YouTube dudes talking about this combo being overpowered or whatever. Grabbed chips and booted up.
First disaster struck when looking at skill points. Fighter gets heavy armor cool but Mage needs intelligence stuff while Rogue wants dexterity. Total nightmare trying to spread stats thin. Felt like trying to spread frozen butter on burnt toast.

What I screwed up first:
- Dumped constitution too low kept dying to basic rats
- Forgot to pick Dark Urge background for extra stabby powers
- Chose fireball but kept blowing up my own rogue sneaky guy
Middle Phase Headaches
Reset whole character sheet like three times. Realized level order matters big time. Started as Rogue for extra skills then Fighter for armor finally Mage for magic zap. Still felt weak at level 4 though. Watched some Twitch streamer yelling about “action economy” whatever that means.
Experimented with equipment combos. Put light armor on so Mage spells wouldn’t fail but then Rogue got smushed like bug. Tried giving everyone bows but magic casting failed half time. Almost threw controller at screen.
Final Tinkering Session
Finally figured out cheesy trick use Mage for crowd control first. Grease spell makes enemies slip then Rogue stabs them while downed. Fighter just stands there yelling insults drawing attention. Got smarter about spell picks too stopped taking fancy stuff needing concentration.
By level 6 this thing clicked nasty surprise round combo. Mage casts darkness then Rogue with Devil’s Sight just picks people off. Fighter stands at edge of dark cloud shoving anyone trying to escape. Feels dirty but works.
Now my gear setup looks like junk yard sale but somehow functions. Leather armor dyed purple for sneaky bonus Mage hoodie and Fighter has some ugly helmet found in swamp. Wasted two hours just testing if poison works with magic arrows. Still don’t know.
Lessons Learned
Honestly multiclassing feels like duct taping three broken chairs together. Works? Kinda. Smooth? Hell no. Unless you really know BG3 rules better than your mom’s birthday get ready for frustration. I still catch myself clicking wrong action wheel options mid-fight all time.
Would I recommend this mess? Yeah if you like chaos and reloading saves constantly. Made full build guide screenshot pile that looks like ransom note honestly probably just confuse people more. But hey at least my gnome doesn’t die in one hit anymore. Mostly.
