Well I thank you all for the nitpicks and additions so far, it will give any inquisitive readers of this thread some great help when it comes to having more than one class [img]smile.gif[/img]
Next, to the most recent question/concern/suggestion...
If you look carefully, I mention *twice* that the experiance point cap for BG2 counts the experiance points from BOTH classes.
Maybe I didn't give any specific examples, or stress that point enough, so, I will give an example to anyone with questions on Multi/Dual-classes and the XP cap.

So let's say you have a level 9 Kensai and you dual-class to a Mage,
then you get your mage to level 10 and get your second-class abilities back at that point your XP screen will look like this:

Mage level 10:250,000
Next level:375,000

Kensai Level 9: 250,000

In this instance, this character would have a combined total experiance of 500,000XP and that would be the number considered by the XP cap.

That might not help you too much, so we'll use the same character (Kenai:Lv.9/Mage:levelx)
Why did I put the x there?
Because I'm going to show you how high a level Mage this dual-class can become.

*For understanding's sake, having the XP Level tables in front of you would be very helpful now [img]smile.gif[/img]

The XP Cap for SOA is 2,950,000
Now, subtract the number of XP of the Kensai class from the cap level:
2950000-250000
You'll get:
2700000
This is the XP Cap for the Mage class.
That means (correct me if I'm wrong) that this character can become
Kensai Lv.9/ Mage Lv.17 in SoA!


That probably answers any questions about the Dual-class XP, but what about multi-classes?
They are much more simple.
First, take the XP Cap and divide it by two (for three-classes, divide by 3):
2950000/2
This will be the experiance cap for each individual class.
Use the experiance tables in your manual to determine the max level for each class.

I hope that clears up any confusion on XP Cap and multiple classes.
