Swashbuckler and Assassin bonuses don't work on dual class?

Mangamancer

When I tried dualling swashbucklers they seem to lose some of their class bonuses permanently
namely these two
-1 bonus to Armor Class at 1st level, plus an additional -1 bonus every 5 levels.
-1 bonus to THAC0 and +1 bonus to damage rolls every 5 levels
They don't return even though the dualing process is finished.
The now finished dual characters don't have these bonuses.

The same thing also happened when dualing Assassins.
They lose
-1 bonus to THAC0 and +1 bonus to damage rolls.
Are these bugs , or intentional?. Please help.

The bonus should carry over. Sounds like something else went wrong. Did you use an editor to level these characters?

I only play unmoded and have never use an editor before.
But I also didn't really play them since these are just experiments.
What I did was create a SoA PC then dual class and export them to ToB
to get an idea how he would be at the end of SoA experience level.

This is how I found out these bonuses aren't carry over.
( I found out that Archer bonus does carry over though )
Would be nice if someone could help try and confirm if it's only me or not.
So that maybe we can do a bug report.

this is my assassin dual to wizzard.





see, no to hit and damage bonus.

compare to before he dual.





see that " ability bonuses +1 " and that " ability bonus -1 "

Bug - Most dual-class combinations are leveled up when imported, which can reactivate their original class within the chargen process, preventing it's abilities from being applied.
So far tested:
Affected:
Thief <-> Mage
Druid <-> Fighter
Fighter <-> Cleric
Fighter <-> Mage

Not Affected:
Ranger <-> Cleric

Does that mean if I play them normally and not importing them they will work as intended?
It's a scary thought to I put hours into playing a character with a risk of him being ruined by a bug.

Yes.
If you really want to import them though, you can:
- create them in SoA as you were,
- dual-class them,
- open the debug console and give them 2500000 exp,
- level them up (reactivating their original class),
- then export and import them into ToB.
