#1 Vimak_skullsplitter Aug 08, 2015 0:05:32	When reading class feats, a fighter says "When you reach 4th level," or "Beginning at 5th leveI," when talking about feats. For example if I am a Fighter 4/ Rogue 1 whould I obtain the 5th level feats for both classes, or the 4th level fighter feats and 1st level feats. So far I haven't multi-classed due to this confusion, but I now  really want to multiclass. COuldsomeone clear this up? The wording makes it so vague.

#3 lawrencehoy Aug 08, 2015 5:33:43	I assume your talking about class features, not Feats; it was very confusing upon first reading your post. Unless your not referring to D&D 5th Edition.   Sea-Envy is correct though, class features are based on class level, not character level.
#4 Godwyn Aug 08, 2015 10:01:05	Adding to the initial confusion when you first come from 3/3.5/4, feats are a function of class level, not character level.  The primary thing that continues to function on total character level is proficiency bonus.  The multiclass section in the PHP on pp. 163-165 covers the rest.

I finally got to the point where multiclassing was a good idea etc. and had to find out! Thanks everyone, and sorry for the confusion!
#6 Mad_Jack Aug 08, 2015 22:40:28	In D&D you really need to be mindful of using the correct nomenclature for things, because there are so many defined game terms that each have their own mechanics attached. "Feat" is a defined game term in D&D (for the past three editions anyway) with it's own set of mechanics, so using it as shorthand for the other defined game term "Class Features" is going to lead to confusion.   As another example, many people in 4th Edition who had come to tabletop roleplaying games from the MMO world had issues because they were refering to the "Powers" that each class gained as "Skills" when "Skill"s were already a different defined game term with a completely different game mechanic.
