yep, you did goof...you need to have very high in the stats of the class you want to dual to..ie intelligence for mages..dex for thieves...a poor kensai in my eyes..you should have used more time on the rols...not a good one

What's the point of dual-classing a fighter with low fighting stats like that unless you want to dual him into a mage or something? For all fighters strength/dex/const should, in my opinion, be at least 15 each. I'd try rerolling a character and then getting better stats (probably drop const. in favor od dex and str. Just my thoughts.

Just re-do & re-roll your kensai. You have to have at least 15 in prime requisites (or was it prequisites - I keep forgetting) of first class and 17 in prime requisites of the second class. Anyway, I thought that your guy's great - for not everyone hasto be max'd one-man-armies.

move the savefile into the multiplay save folder..then you can open it in there..load it up..move all stuff from your main chan to another..save...then go to characther arbitration..delete your main and reroll him..and voila..you only have to regain xp..but you will stay at where you reached

go into the bg2 folder..look for the save folder...move the folder with the same name as your last save into your mpsave folder...then its useable inthere...and it works the other way too..so you can play with all your own chars in single
