Dual Class and Proficiencies

I have a question regarding dual classing:

When we dual class from a fighter to a thief, for example, when we regain the fighter levels, can we still reach grand-mastery with a weapon, or add 3 points in Two Weapon Style, or are we limited to the Thief's proficiency levels? Thanks!

(On a related note: I think my Baldur's Gate gaming experience has been limited to the character creation screen).

Yes, but only in weapons that a thief can use (IIRC). That's one of the things that make dual classing so powerful, as opposed to multiclass where you advance in both levels but are restricted to 2 points each. If you have Anomen in your party, for example, he only levels up as a cleric, but you can still max out his proficiencies. This makes him far more useful for someone like me who likes to just point and charge, without tons of buffing first

Oh, that opens up a crazy number of possibilities! That means that I can make a Kensai in BG1, give him proficiencies in weapons that are common in BG1 (throwing daggers comes to mind) and then go for grand mastery in katanas ing BG2.

Thanks!
