Kensais should be dualed at level 13 as they will have just got -2 to their speed factor (i think they get this every 4 levels) so this is a good time to dual. How a first level mage survives though i havent got the faintest idea!!! Good luck

Lol, ok, thx

I'll just think happy thoughts and hope the enemy doesnt bother to take on a lvl 1 mage who is trying to kill them by casting magic missile x2 / resting ... casting magic missile x2 / resting

A Level 1 Mage survives by drinking a few Potions of Genius and scribing all of those neat little scrolls he could never understand while he was a Kensai. Then, after a nice nap, he's suddenly a Level 7 Mage, with a few Summoning spells and all the Wands he needs. Blammo!

Yeah, either level 9 or level 13. However, seeing as you're going to be capping him out, I'd probably go for 13...you'll still hit 27 as a mage which is pretty awesome, as he'd finish off his spell levels at 29.

Dual classing at levels 31 is never going to work, because like daan's said already, you'd never manage to get anywhere near that level with the new class and so would end up with a low-mid level mage with no fighting abilities, unless of course you remove the XP cap, which is of course cheating

Always dual at level 13. This will give your kensai +4 to hit, +4 to damage, -3 to weapon speed and most importantly, the additional half attack per round from level 13.

You do have to miss out on a few things if you have no theif abilities... and you have to "take the Pain" on quite a few traps... but all STORY RELATED locks are openable by Any strength... or So i have heard [img]smile.gif[/img]

And as for the Kensai... Im not sure if its been said... but go through your manual and figure out a good level... you CAN try to do it so that when you hit the cap it will Be pretty even... but then you gotta play through a fair while on a low level mage... not an easy thing to do

most traps i dont take damage from though(high magic resists). i just miss out on some chests i cant open, which are very few anyways.
