At what level should duel my fighter to a mage? I am currently in BGI and want him to primarly be a mage for BGII. He is currently a Level 5 Fighter. At what Level should I duel him ? I was thinking Level 6 or maybe use the Exp cap from BGI and duel him then as I have ToSC and he could still gain EXP. What should I do?

I think you can get him to level 8 in BG1 and addon. 125,000 exp.

Either you'll have to keep him as a fighter the entire time and train him over in BG2, or recreate him in BG2, that way you can play him as you want in BG1, and then just remake a new fighter character in BG2. Its up to you.

If you want to "duel" him to a mage, I think it is easier below tenth level (they get those darned protection from non-magical/magical weapon spells.

If I dual to mage, I usually do it earlier in the game than the general consensus. You are not going to send your best mage wading into every melee are you? Leave tanking to the specialists. A good mage is best put to use as artillery anyway. What are the REAL benefits of having a mage that was a fighter? Hit Points, use of a sword (there is a Katana in BG2 that gives a spell bonus similar to the BG1 ring of Wizardry) and the ability to wade into the occasional fight if needed. Sure you can use elfin chain, but do you need it? A 5th level fighter maxed out on CON should have around 50HP. Add points from a familiar and 70HP base mage is not bad. If I create a new BG2 char, I dual right away. If you are in BG1, then you might already want to dual.

I disagree totally. Dual at ninth level that gives you enough weapon proficiencies to grand master in one weapon and put two more proficiencies in single weapon style (-2AC).And more important about 100hp if you have 18con.

It is important to have 18 int though.

If you swap at ninth then you can get to 17th level mage have access to enough spells to tank-Armour, stoneskin, mirror image, pro vs normal weapons etc etc etc. You can hold your own in any combat against nearly anything or stand off and whip the arse off anything with ranged spells.

I usually dual class two fighters with mages one at 9th level one at 12th (so the first mage is a reasonable level and I'm not wandering about with two low level mages at once)

On the subject of BG1 you will have to complete it as a fighter if you want to dual class as a mage at any level higher than 8th. It is not worth dualling after 7th level (I think) because your xp limit does not allow you to exceed your fighter level with your new mage levels so you're wasting your fighter levels until you get to BG2.
