| | | Dual Class and High lvl abilities
Can you take High lvl abilities from the class you dualed out of? |

| | | Nope. I was wrong. I just got a HLA for my Kensai/Mage and I could only choose the mage HLA's. Sorry.

| | | Once you dual class to another class, the class you started with is "locked" - all your gained XPs goes to your new class, so the prev one won't improve anymore.

| | | It gets worse...
Not only can you not pick HLAs from your inactive class, the inactive class EXP doesn't count toward getting access to HLAs, so a Kensai/Thief who dualled at 1,000,000 EXP will need ~4,000,000 EXP to get access to HLAs. Big downer for dual class munchins in ToB

| | | So why not multiclassing instead? As far as I know, that way both chosen classes can be improved simultaneously, right? Is there a restriction which and how many classes you can pick into the multi? E.g. can I choose mage/paladin/thief even if it doesn't make much sense or is it restricted to a certain list offered by the game?

| | Oh  FM or FMT sounds the best, then. And the XPs are distributed evenly between the classes, right?

| | | More..
Yes, EXP are distributed evenly.
Ranger/Druid is an error, it's Ranger/Cleric - but they get all divine spells

In AD&D 2nd Edition, you can be Ranger/Druid, Fighter/Mage/Druid, etc. |

| | No matter, I'll be a FM or F/M/T anyway. What's the use of druids, btw? In IWD they have really cool spells like Call Lightining and Tortoise Shell and wall of Moonlight/Fire, but Jaheira's spellbook is not such a big deal, I guess. I always keep her b/c of her quests (and she's an old aquaintance, and lonely without Khalid, and so on, and so forth... She's just grown on me  )

| | | Druid's have some really useful spells, for example
Insect Plague (the mage killing spell),
Ironskin (especially for fighter/fruids and cleric/rangers, a Stoneskin that cannot be breached),
Conjure Fire Elemental (on of the best summons in the game),
Nature's Beauty (blinds everything around the druid with no save, even liches & dragons if not stopped by magic resistance),
Greater Elemental Summoning (ToB only, summons one of the Elemental Princes)
