Editing Multiclassing (section)

===[[World of Darkness]]===
Short of weird, game-breaking shit (like [[diablerie]] or turning into an abomination), the stuff you pick at character creation is the stuff you're stuck with.

Chronicles does offer a bit of multiclassing, however, for certain supernatural types.  Those who have a "Y" axis that represents status in an organization (and have a corresponding Status Merit) can potentially buy membership in multiple groups, and in doing so gain access to resources from both.  This often had limitations - often a cap on the total when split, or an XP surcharge for the second (or both, for Hunters) - but allowed for some traits from both to be taken.  Since these organizations have certain class-like properties (especially for Mages where the Diamond's structure resembles the four-man party and has certain tendencies, even if not monolithic ones), you can potentially gain abilities not normally available.  In 2e, Lost get something similar with the Court Goodwill revamp - after hitting 3 dots, you gain the effects of the Court Mantle as if you had that Merit at two dots lower than Goodwill.
