Problem dual-classing

[arkean]

Hi,
It is strange and I got very upset because of this so pls read carefully let me know any solution...

Got a Male Human Thief character and leveled it up to level 13 and decided to dualclass him to fighter class and ... surprise surprise - I got level 1 Fighter but as a first class with 0 exp(inactive class i.e. not receiving any experience but for some reason it is not written that tis class is inactive) and Level 13 thief as a current class (!?) in which character gains exp.
Strange indeed - PLS HELP! I can't continue with game because of this and I don't know if I start it again it will not happen again!

Thanks

PS. If I try to dual Yoshimo everything seems to be OK with him - but main character - not

Did you use ShadowKeeper at any point?

Yeah, unfortunately I did... any sugestions?

Be careful with ShadowKeeper - it's a powerful utility for editing savegames, but it will also let you screw up your game, as you just found out. It's a bad idea to edit class levels with it - use your game to level up instead. Whenever you want to try something new with ShadowKeeper, make an archive save so you have something to go back to in case things go wrong.

You can do one of two things:

1. Go back to a prior save.
   
2. Move your current game into the multiplayer savegame directory and re-start it in multi-player mode. Give your protaganist's items to another party member and remove your character. Create a new protaganist to replace him and save the game. Move the game back over to the Savegame directory. Use the Console (my preferred method) or ShadowKeeper to bump up his XP - but use the game to level him up.
