Dual-classing and high level abilities

Remove all ads!

Long time no see !

Why does my fighter/thief character not get his high level abilities at around 3 mil exp. ?

in my party both jaheira and aerie got theis abilities at that amount of xp.

in the lates patch bioware states that dual classed and multiclassed should be treated equal, and that is definitely not the case.

keep on bouncing

My Dual Classed Fighter / Cleric was able to choose the cleric high level abilities, but not figher. Jaheria, however, was able to choose both Druid and Fighter abilities.

I have no clue why your thief abilities aren't kicking in though ...

 

I think that High level abilities kick in at a class level not an XP value. also It may not let you take the cleric abilities if you cant cast spells of that level. Im not shure however.

 

Wait, hmm. I thought only the protaginst gets high level abilities! Sweeeet!

 

For a fighter-thief you will get your first fighter HLA at level 14 (1.5mil XP) and first thief HLA at level 17 (1.54mil XP).

So, you should got one at exactly 3mil XP, when your fighter side levelled up to 14.

Cut and paste from biowares site concerning the latest patch

>"As a clarification, Multi and dual class characters gain their first high level ability at the equivalent XP mark as a single class character. Everybody gets their first high level ability at approx 3 million xp, give or take a few thousand. This was done to allow multi and dual class characters to enjoy the benefits of high level abilities before the end of the game."
End of quote!
If that was not pure gibberish my character who dualed at fighter level 13 (1250k xp) would get his first abilities as a thief at level 18 (around 1760, total 3010k xp)

this is not the case, tested with cluaconsole and gave my pc xp, at level 24 the abilities showed up and only thief abilities.
that is 1250 000 points of xp down the drain.
what buggers me is they say they have fixed it.
Am I the only one who have experienced this with dual classed.

( multi class char works like a charm, as stated by bioware)

bouncing a little more slowly since use any item is still another million xp away

 

Well it makes sense that you only got the high level abilities for the active class for you have stopped progressing. It would just be ridiculous to get the high level abilites of a class you stopped progreesing in a long time ago.

 

I could accept the fact that you dont get the abilities from your first class (not much in DnD makes sense, classes least of all).
My major point is that the patch does not deliver as promised, concerning the total amount of xp.

bongo

now at 4 000 000 xp and still no abilities
