tried 22 druid shapeshifter / 23 fighter dual class all 18 stats...

Dremor

it seems to me there are some bugs:

1) 5pips in scimitars... when i equip on main hand from 2apr i go to 3apr,
when i equip it offhand from 2apr i go to 3apr

dagger: 1pip... main hand 2apr, offhand 3apr

nevermind gotcha... if you have proficiency in a weapon 5pips it adds an extra apr ONLY if you equip in main hand.

so if i got 5pips in scimitar 1pip dagger, and i equip dagger main hand, scimitar off hand i do not get the extra attack from 5pips of scimitar...

-------------

now another thing... is it normal my shapeshifter, in werewolf form do not benefit from the fighter apr gained at lvl 7,13 ?

cause at this point both a fighter druid and a druid get same 4apr in greater werewolf form...

Shapeshifted forms have set stats and apr etc... you might be able to improve them with spells but not with innate stuff.

It is true (and normal balance-wise) that GM only adds 1 apr if you use the weapon in main hand.
By the way, I am sorry to tell you you made the worst possible choice in terms of dual class, shapeshifter bringing nothing good to fighter and fighter bringing nothing to shapeshifter.

so far i just did some testing :P for a build
i noticed the last part of bg2 seems rushed at best... i am not familiar with ad&d 2 but in 3 and 3.5 ed both cleric druid and mage get up to 9 level schools (of course poor bard is still stuck at 6 :P)

while the bg2ee cap of 8mil is more than enough (you get so many HLA choices as pure class with so few selection that about 33% points go wasted) so finishing the game at around 5mil seems fine...

i wonder instead if BGEE could have benefited for a raised cap in case there is enough xp there to grant it without grinding.

i guess i will just stick with pure class and try to see if i can defeat tob at around 5mil

Just use a different druid kit to dual from. I personally like Avenger dualed to fighter for the extra spells, but I do dual a lot earlier than 22. More like 10-12 when it does not take ages to get the druid casting back.

Btw.. when you get to hell you can turn evil to be able to wear human flesh.

Woops. Misread something.
