You need a strength of 15.(Nice roll by the way, exactly my highest roll)

Charisma 12?

If you had dropped it down to 8 and lowered constitution or wisdom by one point you could have had enough points in strength to be able to dual-class.

I would have dropped wisdom to 3 or 4

it's not important for a kensai, but if those limited wishes are so important...

I believe Wisdom also effects spell learning failure rate. Having a Wisdom score of 3 or 4 would make learning new spells a chore.

I don't think wisdom affects Spell Learning Failure, but it does help lore.

Wisdom doesn't affect spell laerning at all. It's nearly useless.

A character with lousy 10 in the primary stat of his class is simply not competent enough to add a second profession.

There's of course the possibility to cheat if you insist on dualclassing.

Why is wisdom useless? Like I said, it helps with lore and limited wish. I made the same mistake that you did. Just up your str and use one of the girdles.

Girdles don't work for Dualclassing. I'd dump CHA and raise STR.
