    [​IMG] I am currently playing a F/M who uses a sword for melee and spells (obviously). Anyway there doesen't seem to be any conflict when i played him in TOB but when i import him into SOA (TDD installed) he can no longer use anything having to do with fighter class. I have no idea how this works, can somebody please explain why this happens or how to fix it? I tried installing the Ease-of-use mod and it didnt contain anything pretaining to classes and weapon use. I feel like a noob posting this but I've never encountered this problem before... hmm :confused:

    When you import to SoA, it cuts your XP down to 161,000 at max, including experience from your first class. Assuming that your F/M is a human dual class who dualled at 8th level or later, he wouldn't have enough levels to have regained his fighter status yet. (For some reason, it cuts the levels too. :grr: ) Either get some XP normally or CLUA it back in to regain your fighter levels.

    If that doesn't help, all I can say is that I've heard TDD is very buggy.

    I noticed that and changed the levels from 18/22 to 15/15 and I turn my XP off as I do not want to level any further because it will erase my spellbook because i have my memorization set up a little bit to keep a few extra spells. I dont think that has anything to do with it. For some reason the fact that mages cant use swords overgoes the fact that I am half fighter and I cannot use the sword becuase mage is my active class. TDD has been a little buggy in the past but are there any mods to eliminate class preresiquites for equipment?

    Thanks guys, but i cant play BG:II anymore. I have a cleaner tool that wipes data.ink files and BG:II uses them to detect the installs and well now i can nither install or uninstall baldur's gate II so there is no way i can reinstall it... I'll try a few more things later before I jump to conclusions. :D

    :rolleyes: No, that's exactly it. Your second class has to be a level higher in order to get your old skills back. Change it to 15/16 or 14/15 and you should be fine.

    As to your current dilemma, you can just open up your CD (right-click and select 'Open') and run Setup.exe. It doesn't check to see if you've already got it installed, it just goes right ahead and installs it.
