cant dual class my fighter?

[lost prophet]

I want to Dual my fighter into a Fighter/Druid but the Dual Class option isnt highlighted why is this stats are as follows:
STR:13
DEX:16
CON:17
INT:3
WIS:18
CHAR:16

Race: human
PP's mace** flail** missile weapon*

and he is also True Neutral ive listed everything i can think of that effcts Dual Classing so if anyone can point out whats wrong it'd be apreciated.

[ZFR]

he is human yes?

strength should be 17 (15?) AFAIK. can someone verify?

[lost prophet]

ZFR: yes he is human as said above. 15 or 17 strength for a druid? well ill wait for confirmation then ill see what im gonna do,cheers ZFR

[pritchke]

He will need the following

strenght : 15 or above
Wisdom : 17 or above
Charisma : 17 or above

So is strength and charisma is a little low.
Personally I would try to roll better to get a few extra points.

lost prophet,

pritchke is so right on this. You do not want a character that can only just scrape by on the DC.

Everything you wanted to know, and more, about Dual Classing a Fighter/Druid can be found here .

In general, the closer to the end of the thread you get, the more correct the information. The exception is Dundee Slaytern's posts: I've never known him to be wrong. Ever.

Any DC character must have at least 15 in the prime requisite(s) of the first class (Fighter is Str, Cleric is Wis, etc) and at least 17 in the prime requisite(s) of the second class. Druid is Wis and Cha.

Kind of makes it tough to get a decent F/D dual class, doesn't it? (self-righteous snickering)

I mean, you need good STR, DEX, & CON for a decent fighter build, and then you need 17 WIS & CHA to dual to a druid.

The only ability you can spare is INT, and how low can you take this and still play the character without wincing at the intellectual challenge of doorknobs? (more snickering...)

My advice, for which I get a lot of tomatoes thrown at me, is to make a half-elf F/D multi-class. Here's just two reasons:

1) you'll roll higher ability scores and have more flexibility in how you allocate your ability points.

2) you'll have the abilities of both classes throughout the entire game, and both classes will progress throughout the entire game.

Unless you want to simply assign yourself ability scores through a game editor, you'll probably have to roll a LONG time before you get enough stats for a good Fighter who can dual to a Druid. I enjoy playing a lot more than rolling, so it's always a multiclass F/D for me.

Nothing wrong with a MC F/D. I like 'em, personally. A much smoother development curve, and the priest spells come in handy if you are planning to dual class other characters within the party. They also do just fine in any game - don't anybody let the loss of HP scare you. I'm currently playing a party including a half-elf MC F/D with a Constitution of 9. On Insane. Not a big deal - the extra healing power takes care of that.

Plus, as jmsteven alluded to, you don't have to roll enough points to get a Cha 17 druid who is STILL dumber than your average brick.

Right well i looked over NobleNicks post (some good breaking down you got there) and taken in to account all the suggestions and decided to delete him from my party and make him again, sure he'll lose heaps of experience but a bit of training will back him up a bit, i wasnt playing to win with this party i just wanted to check out the F/D and the Bard classes having never played them in IWD/HOW before. The bards turning out to be quite fun, I like my Bards abilty to use any weapon (shes currently using a conposite long bow) and she is slowley stacking up some decent kills and the bard song has come in handy. A big thankyou to NobleNicks sig for making wont to try one!

(cheers to all that posted)

Yes, it can take a long time to roll a fighter/druid. Luckily for me, I rolled FANTASTIC numbers for my fighter/druid on my SECOND roll!!!! How did that happen?!?! :-D I saved this roll and went on trying for higher stats for almost an hour but just ended up using the saved numbers. A pain in the rear, but well worth the effort!
