[Cerek the Barbaric]

Hey Raistlin.

Yes - I cheated Cerek's XP in the thief class. I used two methods.

In Suldenesselar, after defeating all the enemies and collecting the items to place on the altar, I went to the temple to summon the Leaflord Avatar. Then, I came across a tip on a different site that said you could get "unlimited experience" if you did it right. Basically, it's exploiting the ACTION-PAUSE-ACTION bug that occurs when many of the "Quest XP's" are awarded. If you Pause the game immediately, you can actually run through the whole sequence again and get all the Quest XP again and again and again. I did that until reaching 16th level as a thief.

I then got bored with it and just used Shadowkeeper to raise his level to 23. That way, I actually had to "earn" two levels legitimately before getting my Wizard Slayer skills back.

Like I said, I never planned to dual Cerek over in the first place. I created him in BGI and imported him over to BGII. From the books there and the Machine here, he has a Str of 21 and a Dex of 19, but no other "outstanding" stats (his original Con was only 13).

However, I also have a copy of the game saved when Cerek was only level 15. That's the game where I originally planned to have him "dual class". After I finish this one, I may go back and complete it legitimately. I also still have a copy of the game before dualing him over at level 24. I may also try finishing the game WITHOUT dualing him at all.

Right now, I'm just playing and trying out different scenarios.
