DM Q&A Monk Order Multiclassing

[CloakSpider]

Hi,

I am having a bit of a dilemma and need some input.

After speaking with several people in the Discord about monks, monk orders, deities, and role-play I decided to create a monk character. I was reminded to pay attention to the fact that certain monk orders only allow multi-classing into certain classes and was pointed to a page that listed several multi-class options for the various orders. I finally decided on a Monk/Assassin and created/started playing with that in mind.

Cut to present day weeks later - I was just roaming around in the forum reading old posts and trolling the role-playing section when I came across a post about monk multi-classing and I got worried. It showed that my character's order could only choose to multi-class as a Sorcerer as long as Monk and Sorcerer were within 2 levels of each other. I have been operating on the assumption that I could multi-class freely as Fighter, Sorcerer, and Assassin this entire time.

Was I looking at outdated info, or did I screw up BIG TIME??

If you chose the Dark Moon Order, then you made a mistake indeed.

That said, there are other monk orders that allow multiclassing as Assassin.

If your monk order was Dark Moon, the restriction on that is that the monk can multiclass as a sorcerer as long as the two classes stay within two levels of each other.

However, I'm not sure that's the order you were talking about, and I understand that you probably don't want to discuss your monk order publicly regardless. I will send you a PM.
