=== Favored Class === | === Favored Class === | ||
The character class your character chooses at 1st level is always your character's [[Favored Class]]. Favored classes dictate several of the class' starting features: the number of attacks the class can make during a full attack action, their starting saving throw values, their base AC, their Bailiwick skill and the Linked Skill associated with it, and a bonus class feature that is only available to characters who choose that class at character creation (and thereby make the class their favored class). | |||
[[Dual Classing|Dual-classed]] characters get to take the highest number of attacks from either class (they don't add them together, they just take the best of the two), the best of each saving throw bonus offered by either class (so if one class offers a better Fort save, while the other class offers a better Reflex save, they get to take the good bonus for both saves, despite the fact that they come from different classes), and the highest of the Base AC values from among their two classes. They can put ranks into both Bailiwick skills offered by the two classes, but they only get bonus ranks in one Linked Skill (they choose). They get the bonus Favored Class Feature from both classes. | |||
If a character [[Multi-Class]]es into a second (or third, etc.) character class, they do not get as many of the favored class bonuses as the Dual-Classed character does. They still take the highest number of attacks from either class (they don't add them together, they just take the best of the two), and the highest of the Base AC values from among their two classes. However, they don't get the saving throw bonuses of any secondary class(es) they take. They can put ranks into the Bailiwick skill of their secondary class(es), but they never get the free skill ranks for any Linked Skills associated with secondary classes. Finally, they do '''''not''''' receive the Favored Class Feature of any secondary classes, unless they take the [[Eclectic (Feat)|Eclectic]] feat for that class. | |||
