    [​IMG] What can I say? :xx: I'm not a trapper, so I missed them among all the HLA's. Haven't actually played any BG2 since before my previous PC totally burned up - electrical fire. :cry:
    So, you were in chapter 6 when you dual classed?

    You - together with Alex (Ascension mod... ) - can take credit for me installing Baldur's Gate once more. :)
    I just begun a BG1 mc F/M hoping to solo her all the way through ToB.

    The joy of powergaming...
    at least to me is developing the strategy and tactics to OPTIMIZE a character or characters. Once I see that there is no challenge for the character(s), it's time for the next scenario. Everybody has their own idea of fun. Let's not force our opinions on others.

    Hats off to Modjahed, a power gamer supreme. With my experience (still learning), I would have thought the game would be much easier completed as a mage type (single, dual or multi-class). Yet, Modjahed has created a super hero from a fighter-thief!

    NO powergaming sux, but can be fun playing multi against eachother. If ye use cheatcodes to summon creatures and stuff.

    I thought that as soon as you change class, all the surplus experience over and above what it took you to just get to your current level was dropped. So micromanaging the experience like Shadow Daemon says would have to be done...well it wouldn't. I've only dual classed a couple times ever so I might be wrong, but I'm sure enough that I'd be willing to place an embarrassing wager on it.

    Yes... it's a powergamer's dream if that powergamer can stand playing a solo thief for 25 levels...

    My swashbuckler(17,18,16,9,18,9 - 3 Dual Wield, 1 Long Sword, Max Find Traps, Open Locks, half Set Traps) is on day 7 game time and still on the first level of Irenicus' Dungeon... skipping the Cambion might have saved some time though...

    @Alex:

    I just :love: love :love: Swashbuvklers. I think they are the best kit in the game and are GREAT for any kind of Dual-class.

    I even beat the game with a Swashbuckler.

    For me the transition period with a solo fighter was much harder, than the beginning with a Swashie.
