Kensai Help
Kensai Help
Since my Assassin file is screwed up, and I have to fight the drow, I created a Kensai, and I have some questions.
1.What level do I get to dual class him at? I want him to be a Kensai/Mage.
2.What weapons should I specialize in?
3.What fighting styles should I specialize in?

[QUOTE=Berethor]The problem is, I cant dual class at the beginning [/QUOTE]
Are you sure your attributes are good enough to dual class?
I can't remember the excat rules, but it is something like you need 17 in the first classs primary attribute as well as 16 in the secondary class primary attribute (or is it reverse...hmm...)

Poor Berethor, let 'ol Grampy-bone help ye. Best level to dual kensai to mage is level 13, level 9 is just a mage with more hit points. 13 you get a THACO of 1 and +2 to saves. You are right, you can not dual at level 2 because you start the game at level 7. In order to duel to a mage from a kensai, you need 15 strength and 17 intelligence. Check your stats. . .
Heh, well I have enough stats to dual class, but I don't know what level to dual class at. I gain ecperience slightly faster than Minsc, and In my assassin file, it took minsc until Underdark to become level 13, so I don't know what to do...

1. Depends. Are you soloing or playing in party? How strong a fighter do you want to be? There are three different levels that's good for dualing a kensai, imho. It's either
9 (9 level fighter @ hd, +3 attack/THAC0, +0,5 APR)
13 (9 level fighter @ hd, +4 attack/THAC0, +1 APR)
15 (9 level fighter @ hd, +5 attack/THAC0, +1 APR)
Mages gain levels slowly, so 9 or 13 is recommended here. If you're soloing, I'd say that 9 is the best since you regain your fighting skills faster. If you're grouping, you might want to wait to 13. That's totally up to you.
2/3. Weapons/Fighting styles are totally up to you. Personally I find Staff of the Magi and Staff of the Ram to be a nice combo for this kind of character. You can change them fast and one of them provides nice protection and abilities and the other is able to dish out tons of damage.
Needed for Dual-classing is:
Level 2
Human as Race
15 in your starting class' main attribute (In your case, fighter; 15 STR needed.)
17 in your dualed class' main attribute (In your case, mage; 17 INT needed.)
9 (9 level fighter @ hd, +3 attack/THAC0, +0,5 APR)
13 (9 level fighter @ hd, +4 attack/THAC0, +1 APR)
15 (9 level fighter @ hd, +5 attack/THAC0, +1 APR)
