    At what level should you dual a fighter so that he can still reach level 14 as a druid?
    Ok, you roleplayers can start the flames now.

    You should be able to calculate that from the experience tables in the manual... Take the experience cap (or how much you think you can get with it removed) subtract the experience required to be a 14th level druid and that gives you the max you should attain as a fighter. Take that back to the experience table for the fighter and see what level that will bring you up to...

    I dualed a fighter cleric at level 9. That seems to be the best level. The next best time to dual would be at level 13, but you'd have to wait quite a while to get those much needed fighter skills back. The highest level you can dual at and still reach 14 is fighter level 14. What exactly would be so hard about doing it sucessfully anyway?
    I'm not sure about the whole duid advancement thing as I believe they stop leveling up at 14(please correct me if I am wrong). That might be something to consider when dualing from the fighter. I don't really know.

    Blackthorne gave the basics on this however there are some extras found here at Sorcie's place - the URL is here in case you are also (ahem, I know it's the WEB host but yeeesh) having an extremely difficult time with pages refreshing/cgi script errors:
    http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/xp_tables.php

    Of course you can take another interesting path and just be a Half Elf that is multiclassed as... Jaheria is. Fighter/Druid.

    FLAME!

    HOW WOULD A CHARACTER KNOW HE WOULD REACH LEVEL 14? HOW WOULD HE KNOW ABOUT AN EXPERIENCE CAP AND WANT TO DUAL CLASS AS TO BE ABLE TO CHALLENGE IN THE DRUID GROVE BEFORE HE REACHES IT? HOW WOULD HE KNOW HE HAS TO BE LEVEL 14? WHY DO YOU LET YOUR CHARACTER USE YOUR BRAIN? HOW INTELLIGENT IS YOUR CHARACTER AS OPPOSED TO YOU? WHY NOT GIVE ANY FIGHTER A LOW INTELLIGENCE THEN PLAY HIM LIKE HE IS A GENIUS?

    FLAME!

    There. I think my job here is done... heheh..

    I need some advil and/or vodka!

    All very appropriate responses to a flame such as yours. Incidently, I am about to partake in the later. If I ever see such ridiculousness again, I might simply put my head through my computer screen.

    Please, make the crazy voices stop!!

    [​IMG] Ra, have you ever heard about career planning! The modern adverturer doesn't just live into the day, he goes to FACT (Faerun Adventurers Careeer-planning Temple). They not only have job descriptions for everyone from assasin to zombie, infos about fringe benefits and social security tables but also give sound and prooven advice for the new aspirating upwardly mobile adventurer.

    So before you flame, look them up: every monday through thursday from 10:00 to 12:00, except official Faerun holidays.
    They might be able to help even you :)

    they are everywhere,all around.you won't find them,they will find you...no...wait that was something else somewhere else.
    ah yes here we have it...quote:before any adventurer is born in toril he or she will be filled with information about how he or she will change with time and experience.sometimes it is a cowled figure talking sometimes it is a big book that gives the unborn adventurer this information.most of the time this information helps the adventurer choose his/her path.
