    [​IMG] Hello all:

    I have a question about the XP Cap Removal options that are available. I don't know if I would ever use one, but I am interested in how they work.

    I was browsing on Sorceror's Place and found the following options:

    [1] Baldur's Gate II XP Cap Disabler

    An alternative to an experience cap remover, this program sets the experience cap to -1 and therefor disables it. Simply run the program and point it to your BGII "Override" folder

    [2] BG2 & ToB Level 50 Patch & XP Cap Remover
    This patch does several things. First it disables the experience cap allowing you to reach the higher levels. Second it modifies the class tables to match the standard AD&D rules for all classes up through level 50. A warrior for example will now gain all warrior advantages. The special abilities have also been modified to allow for the kits to get all of their level based perks
    [3] 'Safe' XP Cap Remover for Throne of Bhaal
    Allows single/dual/multi-class characters to progress to level 40 in all of their classes, eliminating the problem where allowing a character to progress beyond level 40 could wrap their abilities (such as spell allowances) around to those for level 0 or 1, as all ability tables and engine parameters do not go beyond level 40
    I have the following Questions:

    [A] How do these mods work?

    If I were to use one of the Mods, which one would you recommend?

    [C] Do any of these three options allow you to progress in character development as a normal d&d character would? For example: Does a Mage gain all of the spells, level bonuses, HP, etc. that he would gain if he progressed to the level outside of the BGII universe?

    [D] I assume Options [1] & [2] work for both BGII SoA & ToB?

    Thanks in advance.

    @ sokolovski,

    Read the SofA and TofB descriptions before posting in either again.

    Moving this to TofB.
