In BG2, level 9 to gain a new proficiency point. I don't know as much about BG2 as I do BG1. Levels 12 and 13 are popular alternatives, but as with levels 6 & 7 in BG1, I think it's too late.
Berserker/Mage - at level 4/8 as you get 1 enrage at each 4 levels. You can make it at level 12, but i don't think that's a good idea.
Wizard Slayer/Mage (god's know why) - make it at level 2, you get 1% MRes per level, with luck the game is bugged enough to give 1% MRes per any level you have, be it inside the WS class or not. the other feature is just a 10% of spell failure implication per hit, that doesn't change no matter in which level you take it.
Understand that this dual class prevent you probally of use any wizardry ring, belts, boots, hoods... and there on. I don't know if this kit will block the use of robes.
Kensai/Mage - Make it at level 9/12.
7 if you just started the game in BG2 and you're lazy and don't want to keep your kensai class inative for long (7 is the starting level of a BG2 pre-made character).
9 you get you +3 to hit and damage (+1 to hit and damage at each 3 levels) and -2 bonus to your speed factor (-1 speed factor at each 4 levels), it's passable.
12 is the best, you get a +4 to hit and damage and a -3 on speed factor, besides the fact that the Kai ability is multiple of 4 also (1 Kai per each 4 levels).
This isn't a dual for BG, you gonna suffer a bit in BG to become a juggernaut of destruction in BG2.
I think most suggest that Kensai/Mage dual at 13 that way they also get the extra 1/2 attack from level 13. And waiting 1 more level ain't that killerat that point.
Kick everyone but your romantic interest out of your party and then "Get Thee Some Learnin" aka start scribing scrolls.
So it sounds like I need to level fighter high enough to get the proficiency points without going way too high in level (around lvl 13?)
When I dual to mage and when my mage is lvl 13 I will be able to get my fighter weapon proficiencies back?
then when i exported to bg2 and used tenser's transformation he was an absolute beast
1.25 Mil for level 13 fighter, 1.5 mil for level 14 mage. 2.75 mil total, so you'd fit in just under the SoA experience cap which I usually hit about Ust-Natha with a full party and WAY before if I'm running solo. You'll also be a mage for that period of time and even a "low level" one can do a lot of good. You'd have a ton of HP relative to any other mage in your party too, so meh.
Mages are the only class which can practically print XP, too. Like @Dragonspear said, kick everyone out of your party after you dual-class and write every last scroll you find. If it's a spell you already know, un-learn it than re-learn it just for XP. Cheesy, but who doesn't like Velveeta, honestly?
@sarevok57 Hold your nose & it's onwards to adventure haha but as @CaptRory said it's great on a burger too, pretty nonthreatening (since you can't see or smell it). Add some bacon, maybe some horseradish or sweet chutney, some avocardo etc... Yeah (he said oddly sensually).
@stygga I often eat huge slices of it on bread, this image shall haunt you.
Right! Baldur's Gate....
