SWURPG Multiclassing – Blend Two Playstyles

Multiclassing

Some heroes walk more than one path. Multiclassing allows your character to combine features from two different classes to reflect growth, experience, or narrative change. However, SWURPG uses a simplified, balanced multiclassing system designed to keep gameplay smooth and characters thematic.

Who Can Multiclass?

You may choose to multiclass starting at Level 4. You may only have two classes total over the course of your character's progression.

How It Works

Your character level is the total of all your class levels.
Each time you gain a level, you must choose which class to advance.
You gain the class traits for that level from the chosen class only.
Proficiency Bonus is based on total character level.

Starting a New Class

When you take your first level in a second class:

You gain that class's armor and weapon proficiencies only if you don't already have them.
You do not gain skill proficiencies or starting equipment from the new class.

Class Traits and Scaling

Traits that scale with class level (e.g., Second Wind, Extra Attack) only scale based on levels in that class.
You may only use traits if you meet their prerequisites (some traits require level 5+ in their own class).

Force Users and Force Points

If one of your classes is Force-sensitive and you gain Force Training, use the following formula for Force Points:

Force Points = (Wisdom Modifier × 2) + Force Class Level + Proficiency Bonus

Only levels in Jedi Guardian, Jedi Sentinel, Jedi Consular, Force Mystic, or Force Warrior count as Force Class Levels for this purpose.

GM Approval

Multiclassing is an optional rule. The GM may require narrative justification for choosing a new class (e.g., a Diplomat becomes a Jedi after training with a hidden master).

Example

A character who is a Level 6 Jedi Guardian (4) / Vanguard (2) would gain Guardian traits at levels 1–4 and Vanguard traits at levels 1–2. Their Proficiency Bonus is +3 (based on character level 6). Their Force Points would be calculated using only the 4 levels of Jedi Guardian.

Remember: You cannot choose more than two classes. Choose carefully — multiclassing adds versatility, but can delay access to high-level traits or Force powers.
