Yes, I think that being unable to master in weapons for m/c characters is a big flaw. Seems completely unfair. I still prefer the M/C F/T as the THAC0 bonuses etc along with the increase in thieving skills is a lot to miss out on, particularly if you dual over in BG1 but then export over to solo BG2 and ToB you will have a (relatively in game terms) low level PC in one class or the other. I don't recall the XP cap for ToB but it's in the millions, that makes for a pretty awesome M/C character that has reaped the benefits of both classes all the way with the exception of weapon specialization...... But yes the weapon specialization sucks.

One love, peace.
