Can't Dual-Class

    I started a CG human Ranger, intending to dual him to a cleric, which I've heard is a powerful and fun combination. However, it won't let me dual-class him. My stats are, as far as I can remember:
    STR 17
    DEX 14
    CON 17
    WIS 17
    INT 14 or less, maybe around 10-12
    CHA 9, I think

    Anyone know why I can't dual him? I'm almost certain the requirements are 15 or more in current main stat (Con, 17) and 17 or more in second main stat (Wis, 17)

    According to Gamebanshee, a Ranger has 3 primary stats - Str, Dex + Wis. So your Dex would appear to be the problem. If you don't mind a bit of a cheat, you might want to use SK to increase it to 15 and see if that works.

    I have looked it up in the .2da files. Ranger to Cleric dual-classing needs: 15 STR/DEX/CON and 17 WIS. Cleric to Ranger dual-classing needs: 17 STR/DEX/CON and 17 WIS.
    Note: according to the rules (and the 2da-s), the Con 17 is not required, but as far as I remember, in BG1 and/or in BG2, you need that in spite of this.

    Ahh, thanks much guys. :)


    Also, should I dual to a Cleric at level 7 or at 13? I've heard both opinions around here, and I'd be interested in hearing some of the benefiets of either.

    Personally, I would dual at level 7, since ultimately the only real difference is an extra 1/2 attack and a couple of HP's; not really worth the wait IMO. Of course, I only have SoA, and my comments are based on that; I don't think I would do it any differently if I had ToB, though (except that I probably would have gone multi instead of dual, but that's a different scenario).

    Ranger spells aren't worth waiting for, dual at 7 :D , you'll have all your cleric casting for later!

    Oh, I got a question about this, can a Berserker Dual into a ranger? Or, can someone tell me how to find out? :p

    You can only dualclass into the available multi-classes. Also, you must have certain stats/alignment.
