    As far as I know, there's no legal way to do it. You can use either the CLUA console to enact the scripts for each stronghold (and I don't know them), change your class via Shadowkeeper (though this wouldn't work anyway for your multi-class).

    The only other way I know of is with the Easo-of-Use mod, which enables your protagonist to gain ALL strongholds, regardless of class (a druid running the thieve's guild...wierd.)

    You can download it from the BG2 > Editors, Hack & Custom Files section of SP I believe, but you may have to start a new game for it to work. Can anyone confirm this?

    [​IMG] Start 3 different games with the same character. Or you can, IIRC, drop one stronghold get another one then get back the original. But only for Dual and 2-way-multiclasses I think. You could always d one stronghold then get another then another.

    I suppose so - I don't really like to cheat either. But I don't really consider Ease-of-Use mod cheating, especially since it was designed so you can install only the features of it you want, and leave out the rest. If you try to install it, follow its instructions and say no to every option except "multiple strongholds." Don't think of it as cheating - think of it as a round-about way to make the logical possible, since there's really no reason why a fighter/mage/thief shouldn't have all 3 strongholds.

    Or, maybe someone here has a better "guilt-free" method, but that's the best I know.

    Good luck - and welcome to SP. :)

    [​IMG] Higher dexterity, better armour. There are several items, look through some of the topics here they have some items listed. Basic ones are gauntlets of dexterity for extra dex ( :rolleyes: ) an shadow armour and stuff.

    btw welcome to the boards, I forgot to say it earlier :)

    [​IMG] There are plenty of walkthroughs on SP! They are amongst the best on the web (and believe me I have searched ;) )

    Items that would prove useful in the game areusually hidden away, search every house, container and shop. Many hidden things lie waiting in unusual places. The Bauntlets of Dex are found in the ghoul town in the sewers under the Temple district, accept the quest htere for more info ;)

    Some easy quests would includeAeries' Circus quest, waukeens promenade, the slavers in the copper coronet, the sewer maze in the Copper Coronet, with a cleric the Umar hills is pretty easy, The murders in the bridge district, trademeet quests, the open grave, graveyard district, while there find the orphan girl and sad paladin, the De'Arnise keep is also good for levelling :)

    If you want to take on Umar Hills, you might want to buy Azuredge from the Copper Coronet, which kills Shades, I think. 'tis an axe. Other easy quests...hmm...8people mentioned them all, but you may want to try Trademeet. Not too hard, but good rewards, and later you have the chance to get an elven chain as well, which would be perfect for your F/T/M.

    The most silly part about the ranger stronghold
    (Umar Hills) is the reward. A moondog figurine! It really sucks :D

    Man I liked the moondog.Oh well.

    I had a fighter/theif once who was able to get both strongholds.I didn't do anything to get it and I had the patch installed.
