Is there a mod that lets you continue to gain XP as a Fallen class?

    I don't have much experience with Fallen Rangers/Paladins, but I was always under the impression that you continue to progress in XP, only as a stripped-down Fighter without access to R/P abilities.

    So for example, my Inquisitor would lose all his Kit bonuses?

    Yes. You'd be a simple kit-less Fighter without any abilities or bonuses from your fallen class. Not sure if you follow the Fighter xp table, though, or continue on the R/P one. My guess is the latter.

    That is correct. You lose all special perks and abilities from your class/kit. You're basically a slower leveling Fighter once you fall. Unfortunately there is no way to restore your status either.

    Not true, I think you can regain classes in BG2 by completing your stronghold quests but only as a one-time thing.

    One thing's for sure–even though you become more like a vanilla fighter, you still won't be able to put more than two pips in any weapon proficiency.

    Well damn. All the "good" type casters in BG2 are multiclassed so they level like crap. I wanted Edwin.

    You can easily have Edwin in your party without dumping your Rep down the gutter and falling.

    Yes, this. You still use the XP progression and weapon prof table (no grandmastery for you!) of your original. You can, however, restore paladin/rangerhood via the console.

    You can also use mods to help keep a mixed party, e.g. Tweaks has a lot of options for stopping party fights and/or NPCs leaving due to rep.

    Nalia is dual-classed. She levels like a single-classed mage, since that is her active class. The same for Imoen.
