you're the only person replying to the thread in the ToB forum so I might as well continue it here. I was checking out a faq at GameBanshee, when I read this:

Basically, all characters start to gain special abilities at roughly 3 million total experience points. So when multiclass characters are at about 1.5 million experience points per class (more like level 14-15 than level 20), they start gaining special abilities in both classes. And every time they make a special ability pick, they can pick from the abilities for both classes - for example, Jaheira can take a Greater Whirlwind when she goes up a fighter level, then another Greater Whirlwind when she goes up a Druid level. So multiclass characters actually have somewhat superior special ability gains. All in all, multiclass characters are quite viable in BG2. However, they do not have the sheer power or munchkin potential of the dual class characters.

This is what makes me thing that multi's would even be better than duals in ToB. With this in mind, and the fact level advancement doesn't bring as many advantages past level 20, I find it hard to see how a multi-classed character is -not- ubermunchkiny. It kinda makes the multi- cleric/mage seem a -lot- more powerful than the dual cleric/mage, even at lower levels (or I should say, lower experience values). Am I right or am I right? What do you think?
