Hello !
In many of the threads discussing the usefulness of the individual NPCs I have read comments claiming that multiclassed(and some say even dualclassed) spellcasters could only get up to level 6 spells, because there was an according AD&D rule. Well, in my game Aerie just reached cleric level 14 and got her first level 7 priest spell slot as did Jaheira
shortly thereafter (yes I have removed the expcap). Also, when I picked up Aerie she already got at least one level 7 mage spell in her spellbook, which I found quite strange since she will never be able to use those as long as you stay under the cap, regardless if
this maximum-level-6-if-multiclassed-rule exists or not. If it does exist, they seemingly chose not to implement it in BG2, as well as they obviously ignored the maximum
wisdom requirements for priests to get 6 and 7 level spells.
Does anyone know more about this ? Could it have anything to do with the difficulty level you play at ? I am playing at the medium level(I think it is called "core rules").
By the way: does anyone know why Edwin does get the double (up to the maximum of 9) amount of spell slots per level ? I always thought specialist mages got only one extra slot per level ! If Edwin is the "standard"
for specialist mages, though, I would have to seriously reconsider my disregard for them.
Eagerly waiting for the extent of your knowledge and insight to simply overwhelm me,
Ramon
