In Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, multiclass characters that have spellcasting abilities combine their magical power to determine how many spell slots they possess. Each class contributes a certain amount of “spellcasting level” based on whether it is a full caster (e.g., Wizard, Sorcerer), a half caster (e.g., Paladin, Ranger), or a thirdβcaster (e.g., Eldritch Knight, Arcane Trickster). The total spellcasting level is the key figure used to look up the shared spellβslot table.
The calculation follows a simple formula: you add the levels of all fullβcaster classes, then add half of the levels of each halfβcaster class (rounded down), and finally add oneβthird of the levels of each thirdβcaster class (rounded down). This sum is the characterβs combined spellcasting level.
Once the total is known, you consult the official multiclass spellβslot table (levels 1β9) to determine how many slots of each spell level the character can use each day. Note that Warlockβs pact slots are calculated separately and are not included in this table.
