Classes | Pillars of Eternity 2 Wiki

Classes in Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire are a factor that determines your character's abilities, attributes and how they will develop as they increase in level. In Pillars of Eternity 2, your characters can have one additional class on top of the base class, and a subclass, selected at 1st level. (for example, your character can be a Battlemage if he/she has both Fighter and Wizard classes.) Each class has a Power Source, and each time you gain a level in a Class you increase this power.

 

Base Classes

 

Class Comparison Tables

 

Class Stats Table (Base)

All values are at Level 1 with 10 points into each Attribute and don't include any bonuses from any Race, Class or Subclass. Accuracy is the same on all characters at level 1 and EVERY Stat in the table goes up by +3 at each level, except Health, which is different for each Class. When Multiclassing players will average each Stat between the two Classes they chose and round down to find their starting values. Once they begin leveling they will gain +3 to each Stat just like Single Class characters. They will also gain an average of Health per level, based on the Classes they selected. For example, if one Class has +12 per level and the other has +8, they will gain +10 Health per level.

 

Class Skills Table (Base)

All values are at Level 1 with 10 points into each Attribute and don't include any bonuses from any Race, Class or Subclass. Every level you will get to add one point into one of the left 7 Skills and one point into one of the 9 Skills on the right. If a player Multiclasses, he/she adds together the totals from each row listed below and then divides by 2. This means that if you have 2 Athletics in one Class and 0 in the other you will have 1 Athletics. If the number is 0 for both Classes, then the value remains 0. Then add any Cultural, Racial or other bonus AFTER this is complete to find your final value.

Health, Defense and Skills

Another important point to note is that when you create your character, it will start with a certain amount of Health, Deflection, Reflex, Fortitude and Will to begin the game. When you Multiclass you begin the game with an average of the 2 Classes you chose (rounded down). Each time you level up you will gain +3 to Deflection, Reflex, Fortitude and Will. Whether you Multiclass or play as a Single Class, it makes no difference. You will gain +3 to each per level.

Health is handled a bit differently. Each Class has a fixed amount of Health they begin the game with (Base Health), as well as a fixed amount they gain per level. When you Multiclass you average the Base Health of your two Classes and that is what they start with. Each time you level up you will gain an average of what those two Classes would have gained. Let's do an example:

• Let's say you are playing a Barbarian and a Wizard (Warlock). Barbarians get 46 Health and Wizards get 38. Averaging that out you can calculate you will begin the game with 42 Health.
• Barbarians gain +16 Health per level and Wizards gain +8. Averaging that out we get +12 Health per level.

Skills are handled much the same way, and each Class in the game begins with a certain amount of points into each Skill. To calculate how many points in each Skill you will have, you simply need to add together the total points in each Skill for both Classes and then divide by 2. The exception being that Skill points added with Culture are not affected by Multiclassing and will give their full value.
