@AMP1972 Unlikely, I do not have any means to test mobile, and the mod needs to read string references from the game directly, as they are the only functional bit of information available through the UI at several stages. SoD standalone is even more of an issue, as there is no equivalent on PC platforms to look at.
@AMP1972, would you like to try this? I created a modfile for this mod to allow you to play using it. I am unsure what other mods you are using at the moment but I noticed in a different post that you were having some problems using the XP remover.
For info, if you have a PC, then you can install your mods etc into the BG1EE/SOD game and just use the override folder and dialog.tlk to create a modfile. It will work on the Android BGSOD only game no with problems. It just ignores any BG1EE only files...
@kjeron, upon installation of the mod, there was an error installing the second component. This was installed onto a clean version of the game (GOG with modmerge run). Spoiler contains error message:

Hopefully it will all start up without problems. This modfile will only work with SOD v2.5.17.0 and when 2.6.x turns up, it will be invalid...
Once installed and tested, depending on the mods you are currenlty using, you should be able to place your old mods into the new override folder if they are 'copy to override' only. If installed via WeiDU and they make adjustments to dialog.tlk, then they are likely not to work properly and will need to reinstalled using a different method.
I tested the modfile creating a vanilla Fighter dualled to Assassin (and another dualled to Bounty Hunter) and had no problems. I am guessing that with the error for the Bonus Spells component that you might not get the bonus spell for mages. Also was able to go above the 500K XP cap.
If none of this makes any sense, then let me know and I will try to explain better.
@kjeron, upon installation of the mod, there was an error installing the second component. This was installed onto a clean version of the game (GOG with modmerge run). Spoiler contains error message:
The missing file is the default Mage CLAB table. Apparently the mage CLAB's are still not included by default. I'll post a fix when I can tomorrow, in the mean time, you can drop a clean copy of ~CLABFI01.2DA~ renamed ~CLABMA01.2DA~ in the override before installing and it should work.
I installed this after everything else but sadly I when I try to dual class I only get the generic classes.
I'll need more details to help with this, particularly the "everything else". Also make sure you have the sufficient ability scores and alignment to dual into those kits - they often have stricter requirements than their base class.
@kjeron I installed the "itemupgrade v44" mod and the dual to kit has stopped working. I uninstalled the mod and reinstalled DtK but to no avail. Looks like I am stuck doing a full uninstall of the game and reinstalling.
@Necromanx2 not sure how this issue has gone unnoticed - it should have caused immediate issues - and it has nothing to do with itemupgrade.
However, the forums are being a PITA right now - won't allow uploading .zip files, so:
replace lines 287 + 288 with this:
Highly approve of this mod, opens up a number of RP options and is far more convienient than EEKeepering, especially when it comes to companions.
We all know Shar Teel is meant to be an assassin.
I disagree. Shar teel is more of a "kick the door" type of character , rather than a cold killer who'd get into someone's room at night and strike with a dagger.
Hi @kjeron, were you able to get the fix into a release? I know I will forget to update the file in the future given how much I uninstall and reinstall to test mods.
If we set thieves to be able to use any weapons in weapprof.2da, and we add a "holy thief" kit that can only use blunt weapons, and someone using this mod dual-classes a fighter into the holy thief kit, will it be restricted to blunt weapons?
Yes, it enforces dual-classed characters to only advance proficiency of their second class, both which proficiency can be raised and how high they can be raised. If they dualclassed the other direction, dualing from holy thief to fighter, they would use fighter proficiency options. This is a limitation more than it is intentional design. They will still regain the proficiency they advanced as a fighter when it reactivates.
Why not offer kits even if you already have one, but with the explicit proviso that if the player choose any kit other than the base class, it will erase all vestiges of the kit in their first class. (Like using AddKit.)
No idea if that would difficult to implement, of course...
Implementation is the problem. The kit scrubber used by AddKit() and Dual-classing cannot remove a kit if it doesn't belong to your active class.
An assassin dual-classing to berserker would retain their poison weapon ability and all other CLAB-applied effects. The only abilities and effects that would be removed are those that are also present in CLABTH01.2da (trueclass thief).
Even when the thief class gets re-activated, only CLABTH01 would be run, stacking on top of their assassin and berserker abilities.
The only way to do this properly would be to have the kit manually run 'AddKit(TRUECLASS)' before hitting the "Dual Class" button.
1) if I am a berserker and I dual to thief, then soon thereafter I use and ability that invokes an AddKit script action... the script action would fail to remove my berserker kit? And the game would run clabfi01.2da when I reactivate my first class? (I guess the latter would be intended, if we're doing AddKit.)
2) What if I'm a berserker and I dual to thief and then quickly invoke a SuperAddKit script action? Would it still run clabfi01.2da when I reactivate my first class?
Yes. Your fighter class no longer has a valid kit, so CLABFI01 would be run.
FYI, I just installed this and it seems to have messed up weeapprof.2da. The first row (LARGE_SWORD) is set to 255 for every class and kit; all the BG2 proficiencies are set to 7 for every class and kit.
That's intended - necessary to take control away from the engine, hence:
@kjeron I am in a BGEE game and Jaheria just leveled her 3rd Fighter level. She cannot select more then one PIP in a weapon (see screenshot). If I uninstall the dual to kit mod, she can put a second PIP into sling or Quarter staff. So this mod seems to be blocking the second PIP.
EDIT: I do have DoF installed and it modifies Jaheria's class in case that makes a difference.
@Necromanx any other information you can give me?
Is she still a Fighter/Druid, does she have a kit?
I don't recall DoF changing anything but her spellbook, as it doesn't have a component specifically for her.
Well that is odd, because the Circle Enforcer's Multiclass kit has been updated to work with this (separate descriptions for single/multi class version).
I've matched those mods (DoF + IHU + DtK) and she's allowing two pips at level 3.
Curious: In the Record Screen, "Class" Tab, does the kit description start off:
DoF -> Updates Jaheira's spellbook if the sphere system is installed
IHU -> Gives the Circle Enforcer kit to Jaheira, different strings for D and F/D version.
IHU + DoF -> Gives the Circle Enforcer kit, updates her spellbook accordingly and alters the strings of IHU to fit DoF's pattern maintaining the distinction between D and F/D.

Wanted to let you know that https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/74559/item-upgrade-v44-now-available#latest seems to break this.
However, the forums are being a PITA right now - won't allow uploading .zip files, so:
