Kensai/Mage in Throne of Bhaal

the Elfstone · Post by **the Elfstone** » Sat Mar 17, 2001 6:38 pm

I started playing BGII the 3rd time around as an Evil Kensai/Mage (yeah I know its been done to death but I wanted to try it). Anyways, most of the posts I saw suggest dualing to Mage at either Level 9 or 13. But with Throne of Bhaal coming out I was wondering if it would be worth going higher as a fighter now that the 2.9 mil cap is being removed. I guess the big drawback is that I’d spend most of BGII as a relatively weak Mage. Anybody got an thoughts about this?

You can never find the ideal time to dualclass your PC - you'll always wonder if you should have taken just one more level or not.

My advice is look at your playingstyle - if you tend to use more magic - dualclass early - if you tend to do more fighting - dualclass later

If you go to high with your fighter you won't get to level 40 with your mage. I think 13 is about the limit if you want to get to level 40. yours rowdin.

you would need to see the exp tables and then work out the max level you could go to a fighter and acheive the max level for a sorcerer

If they're coming out with a ton of new spells, I'd just as soon get those by going the distance with the mage side of my latest kensai/mage.

I like the idea of maxing out as a mage, but I'm also wondering what the advantages would be of taking my fighter to a higher level than 13 (extra attacks, proficiencies, etc)?

I'll probably use the XP cheat to check then decide, just wondering what people who have played a K/M thought.

I think the fighter classes are going to get
some new abilitys in the expansion but that won't by until you get up past level 19 or 2950000. But if you do that you won't get your mage up high i did use s.k to see what would happen to my berserker celric. using level 50 rules, and if i get him up past level 13 he won't go to 40, if its the same with the mage then what will you do. yours rowdin.
