Sep 14, 2022 · A half caster is a class or archetype that receives spellcasting spell slots at half the speed of a full caster of the same level, usually rounded up. This caps your highest level spell slots at 5th level instead of 9th, and is associated with artificers, rangers, and paladins in 5E.
Jul 25, 2019 · It refers to the speed at which classes gain spell slots and new levels of spells during their progression. Full casters (like a Wizard) gain spell slots fastest, while 1/3rd casters only gain slots and new spell levels at about a third that rate.
The half casters are paladin and ranger. The third casters are arcane tricksters and eldritch knights. They are called as such because with multiclassing you add full slots for the full casters, half slots for half casters, and one third slots for the 1/3 casters.
Jan 28, 2024 · Half casters can multi-class, taking some levels of a full caster to give them a boost of spell slots. They can even use those extra spell slots for smiting, etc. But it does not affect the highest level of spell they can cast.

First thing’s first, we need to break down how spellcasters work in D&D 5e to see what type of character we wish to play. A lot of people will break down the classes into either divine (of/from a god) casters or arcane (traditional magic) casters. This is good to do to capture the flavor of your character, but not so much for understanding the mech...
When perusing the various class options to choose for your spellcaster you’re going to notice something about them. Some classes have a “spells known” column in their spellcasting chart while others do not. Known spell classes require you to pick out new spell(s) as you level up within that class. You learn the spell permanently, but generally, you...
Spell Slots
Spell slots are the primary resource that players and DMs alike are most concerned about when casting a spell. You’ll have a varying number of spell slots based on your level depending on what type of caster you are and if you’ve multiclassed. Spells have levels associated with them. For example, a 1st-level spell can be cast using a 1st level spell slot. They can even be cast using a higher-level spell slot. A lot of spells have increased effects when cast using a higher-level spell slot! Ho...
Spell Components
Spell components are also part of casting a spell. Each spell will require a unique combination of components and there are 3 different spell component categories.
There are several different schools of magic that are used to classify the spells and spellcasting in D&D 5e. However, from a mechanical point of view, I don’t find these schools to be very intuitive for a newcomer. If anything they’re mostly used for flavor. I find it better to break down what each spell does mechanically and categorize them by th...
Cast as a Bonus Action
Some spells may be cast as a bonus action. While these are typically not super powerful spells they do free up your action economy which is extremely beneficial. You now have an action to do anythingwith if you use your bonus action to cast a spell. Well… not quite anything. There are specific rules about how your turn functions once you have cast or if you intend to cast a spell that takes a bonus action to cast. I’ve copied the appropriate excerpt below, but you can find it on page 202 of t...
Requires Concentration
Quite a few spells require you to maintain concentration once you’ve cast them. This means that for the spell’s duration you’ll have to remain focused on keeping it active. If you lose concentration at any point, the spell is ended. If you are concentrating on a spell you’ll have to make a Constitution saving throw each time you take damage. The DC for this check is 10 or half of the damage taken, whichever number is higher. If you fail this save you lose concentration and the spell ends. You...
Ritual Tag
A handful of spells will have the ritual tag in their description. These spells can be cast by taking time and performing a ritual that increases their cast time by 10 minutes. This can be risky if you’re pressed for time, but the payoff is that a spell cast as a ritual doesn’t require a spell slot to be consumed once it’s cast. Only certain classes can cast rituals, though anyone can take the Ritual Casterfeat and gain this ability that way. Wizards, in particular, can cast any spell that th...
I won’t lie, there’s a lot to take in when playing a spellcaster. You have to get your spell list squared away, determine what role your caster will take on, and gather rare components. However, by doing this extra work you’re rewarded with some of the most powerful abilities a player has in D&D 5e. The cool thing about all the spellcasting classes...
A half caster contributes 1 full caster level for every two levels it has in the class. A one third caster contributes one full caster level for every 3 levels it has in the class. A wizard 2, cleric 4, and druid 3 is a ninth level caster, with access to level 5 spell slots (but not level 5 spells).
Feb 28, 2023 · Half Caster. Half Casters receive around half as many spell slots as Full Casters do. The Paladin and Ranger are two of these classes. They can use magic in proficient and useful way, but without spending a single spell slot you can still keep the hero impactful and strong. 1/3 Caster
