Can Kits dual class?

Post by pgroves »

Can a character that uses a kit dual class? For example could a swashbuckler dual to a mage (or even a specialist mage, like a conjurer?) Can you do this without resorting to shadowkeeper?

cheers

A kit can dual class - without shadowkeeper - the same way a base class can. However, a kit can not -without the assistance of Shadowkeeper - dual to another kit. Sorry, no kensai-assassins without SK...

Of course, with SK and some good hacking, nearly any combination is possible. :cool:

I don't thínk you can dual class to a specialist mage as only valid Multi classes can be dualed to and it is only gnomes who can maulti class with a specialist mage (illusionist) and since you have to be human to dual class I think you can't dual to a specialist mage.....

Any kit of the valid class can dual class to valid class, except kits in ranger class. Only beastmaster can dual class into cleric, I believe. No "Stalker -> Cleric" dual class, for example.

I don't think I'm exactly a newbie (I realize that I am to this forum) to the game. :p I definitely wouldn't call UU a newbie. Some of us hack for the fun of the hack. :D

BG can be enjoyed at several levels whether it's just hack-n-slash, role playing, or hacking-n-cheesing. I've had a blast with all three. :cool:

Hacking

Well, hacking, exploiting and cheesing in a single player game is a matter of personal choice - it's not like you harm anyone else's enjoyment if you want to play Bun-bun or your own dementedly powerful character. Muliplyer competitive games are, of course, a different matter. You can argue that it's rather like cheating at solitaire, but it's not necessarily true - especially if you're playing in tactics, since those monsters certainly use some cheese.

When I hacked Jaheira to Cleric/Ranger (specialty priest of Helm ;) ) - the only thing I did that couldn't be done with a regular character was giving a multiclass a kit - big whoop-de-do. When I hacked Edwin to Sorceror, I gave him no abililies he wouldn't have had if that been the class he had always possesed. Does that mean I don't like the game, or that I'm a "newb" (horrors!) - let alone someone like le maitre d'fromage bunny man himself? I think not.

So, to put it in terms E Z will understand "ROFL noob! Hacking = TEH WIN11111"
I have given up all lesser evils as inadequate to my purpose.
