The only thing that I can think of is that your character does not have at least INT 16, though I’d recommend an INT of 18.

I have a kensai with STR 18/00, DEX 18, CON 18, INT 18, which I have dualled at level 9, having 2 profficiencies in 2 weapon style, and 5 profficiencies in katana. I especially like this combination, ilove mages in BG2.

But that is just my oppinion.
Good luck now.

ehm 18*5+char)=roll 98
that's called cheating
even elfs rearly get roll 90

anyway
you need atleast 15 on you old prime (15 on str for you) and 17 on you new prime (17 on int)
Anyway i don't like kansei-mage coz you'll have to melee fight in which you can easely get interupted in your spell casting

Just think about it

Sorry, but you can't wear drow adamantite chain if you're a kensai mage because it counts as armor. And what would you do when you leave the underdark? You can't wear bladesinger chain either. Only robes. But I agree that Tenser's makes your kensai-mage a temporary killing machine.

I brought my char in from BG1.
19 st 18 dex 18 con 18 Int.

I thought about starting a Kensai in Bg2, then dualling, but instead played a fighter through BG and then Dualled at LV9. Kensai is very cool, but i like being able to wear bracers, helps my AC a bit

Uhh...Rikard, where did you get 83 from? I saw 18x4 = 72. He could have had 3 +3 = 78 which is doable. Silly, but doable.

Also, going all the way with a kensai will mean plenty of reloads as you die and die and die because your AC is going to be shit for the whole game, at least if you dual him you can buff him up with stoneskins and mirror image etc, mainly defensive combat spells. Only problem is when someone casts remove magic on you, you better be prepared to make your first few blows count. The kensai is just such a specialized class he needs people around to shield him from attack, unless you have the game unbalancing Cloak of Mirroring which essentially renders remove magic etc useless. Just memorize a ton of stoneskin, improved haste and timestop spells and you basically will dominate the game.

A Kensai's AC is'nt that bad, they can wear robes you know (ie AC5 from robe of vecna or robe of archmagi), plus dex bonus, plus kensai bonus, plus weapon style bonus (if any), plus rings, cloaks, necklaces etc,

My kensai/mage is a 9/15 (at the mo) with an AC of about -6, which is about par for the rest of my tankers

plus with the robe of vecna and the amulet from the shadow thieves (the immune to drain, 1 bonus to casting speed, etc) you hardly ever get disrupted

hope this helps
