In the old Pen and paper AD&D I had a favorite Bard that would be easy to receate in BG2. He was a 8th level fighter that dualclass to Bard. It gave a nice variety of abilities and being 8th level fighter with 18 con gave him close to 100 hit points.
The the real fun began. Upon gaining 6th level mage spells with my Bard he immedialty went hunting for one spell alone.
TENSORS TRANSFORMATION.
Turning a mage with 40 hp into a beserking fighter is nothing right? It only doubles his hitpoints to 80 and he still has crappy AC. Well my dual classed Bard had 102 hitpoints. This doubled to 204 and he did kick ass. A mage can only use a dagger with Tensor Transformation but that wasnt a big deal. Even high plussed daggers arent considered really valuable to most people. So with some work I gained a decent +4 dagger with spec abilities that I only used when beserking. Using specilisation as a fighter I had gained dual weapon. So that meant a dagger in each hand.
Ever see a Pit Fiend go down to a lone bard wielding a pair of daggers?
Nope. Neither had the DM til he watched me do it.
Depressed him to no end.
