Dual-Class from Paladin/Ranger possible?

Post by Taralon »

I'm too lazy to try this out, so maybe someone can tell me. Is it possible to dual class from paladin or ranger? Here's what I mean:

If your paladin or ranger becomes fallen, he becomes a plain fighter. At this point, it is possible to dual class to mage, cleric or thief (for the ranger, since paladins are always LG). Now, there are several instances in the game where a fallen paladin or ranger can regain their abilities. So would a paladin-->begin stronghold quests-->become fallen paladin-->dual to mage-->regain fallen paladin levels-->complete paladin stronghold quests result in paladin/mage?

Of course, the usefulness of a paladin/mage escapes me, but still... =P

It's impossible, he's still a paladin albeit one that have lost his abilities.
That seems to point up a significant difference between Europeans and Americans. A European says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with me?" An American says: "I can't understand this, what's wrong with him?"

I reckon that Stonehege was build by the contemporary equivalent of Microsoft, whereas Avebury was definitely an Apple circle.

The program just can't do things like that, but in PnP it is possible. I play a dual class Ranger/Paladin. Good fun watching chaos and law clash in one character. And I'm pretty sure you could dual into a paladin/mage, though why you;d want to I wouldn't know.
The waves came crashing in like blindness.
So I just stood and listened.

Can't do it even cheating with shadowkeeper.

Paladin is considered true class, not a kit, so like my attempts to try sorc/fighter, cannot be done.

I "heard" somewhere that a Barbarian/Mage could be made to work easily with ShadowKeeper.
