Shadowdancer dualclass

Valferys

Hey all,

I tried it out, wasnt very happy with it, and reverted back... What are your thoughts?

I am at end of game, just started Chapter 7. My EX is maxed, human shadowdancer, and I am given the opportunity to dual class to Fighter. Thing is, I (obviously) lose my thief set/equipment. I dont think that at this point its worth it, given I will be done with the game shortly and moving on to BG2. Current make up:

Kagain
Dorn
Branwen
Viconia
Edwin

Is it worth dual-classing at this point? I was planning on carrying him over to BG2 and using as main thief, but know there is Yoshimo for a good chunk of the game... Does dual class level carry over, or does it start at 7 (I think is the default starting point in BG2)... So many questions lol

Well, going through SoD might help you enough to be a full Shadowdancer again. If you have everything you need for your thieving, you can consider this, if not, you shouldn't.

Do note that SoD limits evil parties to Safana.

Never thought about that... I never bought the expansion, so maybe i will lol

I had the interesting experience when porting my dual class over to SoA of realising that SoA reads the XP of your present class, and auto-levels you accordingly. At the end of BG1EE, my protagonist was a level 9 Mage, level 6 Thief. She could gain no further Thief levels due to the XP cap, however when I began SoA, she automatically gained enough XP to allow her to gain access again to her Mage abilities.
