Count magic items for Multiclass characters can seem hard at first, but the main idea is quite easy after one gets the math rules. If a character owns more than one magic class the magic items from those classes join in one shared pool. The way one counts this pool depends on the kinds of magic users that are involved.
Bard, cleric, druid, sorcerer and wizard all belong to full casters. Every level in those classes adds fully to the whole caster level. For instance, a character with two levels in cleric and five in bard simply adds the seven levels together.
Paladins and rangers are half casters. They add only half of their levels, rounded down. Fighter levels from the subclass Eldritch Knight and levels of thief from the subclass Arcane Trickster count as a third, also rounded down.
After one finds the whole caster level, one compares it with the table for Multiclass casters in the Player’s Handbook. This table shows exactly how many Spell Slot options are open for every level of spell. In short, the tabel surprisingly looks like the growth of Spell Slot counts for any full caster class.
Here things get a bit tricky even so. The table for Multiclass may give Spell Slot counts of higher level than any of the classes of the character truly can learn or prepare. Take this example: a character with five levels each in cleric, wizard, bard and sorcerer wood reach a caster level of twenty.
That means that slots for ninth level spells show in the table. Even so each separate class only knows spells up to the third level. The slots are there, but the character does not learn spells of ninth level to fill them.
One however can use those high slots to cast lower spells at a higher level.
A real example will explain that. A thief with three levels in Arcane Trickster and three in wizard has a whole caster level of four. This comes from three caster levels plus a third from the three levels of thief, rounded down to one.
So the total is indeed four. So it gives four slots of first level, three of second and three of third.
Prepared spells and known spells are handled for each class. A Multiclass character prepares their spells as if they were a single class character at that level for every class. But when the slots already exist, any Spell Slot works to cast any prepared spell from any class.
If someone is Multiclass between two full caster classes, the growth of Spell Slot counts does not slow. Spell Slot counts from Warlock PactMagic work a bit differently and one tracks them separately, though the game sometimes treats them as normal Spell Slot counts.
