What are the maximum levels you can get with a 8 million experience cap?

Does the mage class stop at level 17 and only allow you to cast L8 spells? Can you use the HLAs to select a L9 spell?

I'm hoping to powergame (!!!) this character through the series, so please let me know anything you think I should

The (main) reason the F/M/T and F/C/M aren't good powergaming classes is that their Mage component stops just short of Level 18, which means no 9th level spells, which means no Time Stop->Improved Alacrity holy hell.

The other reason is that with 3 classes getting HLAs at the same time, there's no room for all of the available HLAs to fit on the board at the same time. So BioWare said, "Heck, they can't get 9th Level spells anyway, let's drop all of the Mage HLAs off the board." So you won't get to choose Extra 6th, 7th, 8th level spells either.

But if you install XP cap remover which allows you to have F/M/T at levels 40/40/40 all new powergaming bliss opens up for you.

Erm...If it's 1/3 for a triple class, a 2 cleric/mage will stop at level 20/20? If so, then i guess i WILL be installing the EXP. cap remover.

I'm 99% sure Baldurdash fixed this.

Not quite mate.

You DIVIDE the EXPERIENCE by the number of classes. 4 million EXP per class will get you more than L20/20
