Precisely. Saving Throws are the primary means of defense in BG2 (well, unless you're playing Tactics, in which case only outright immunity will do), and a Human needs all the boosts he can get. So a -2 bonus there and one more step towards Grandmastery are worth the 2 extra levels, methinks.

The Mage class will end up losing a spell slot in Lvl 8 and 9 spells you know.
There are other classes besides Mage to Dual to, you know. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
And with the EXP cap removed (not that I ever get much beyond it anyway, but still), the drawback becomes moot.
