COMMENTS Any character who has a score of 16+ in ALL their prime requisites gains a 10% bonus to experience point awards. It also allows demi-humans class to rise to higher levels. DUAL CLASS This allows you to take up a second (or more!) career. No further levels can then me gained in the old class and the skills learnt are not accessable until you reach a higher level in the new class. In table top RPG's the DungeonMaster may allow old skills to be used early, but, generally, no exp. in added for the campaign! Only Humans can dual class. To dual class the character must have 15+ as the prime requisites on the 1st class and 17+ as the prime requisites of the second class Baldurs Gate players will experience an anomoly in this as the game engine only allows make allowances for multi-class demi-humans. Humans can dual-class, but only in the areas allowed to demi-humans. What does this mean? In effect, a Ranger can only dual class to a Cleric, even if his stats allow him to be a Mage Bards and Paladins can't dual class, period - though this is acceptable in "pen & paper" play Pat on the back for any DM's and GM's who noticed this.

Half-Elf	Mage-Thief	12 / 12	750,000 / 440,000	Useful combination!
My feeling it that Half-Elves should not be so common, invariably being the off-spring off "un-requested" love, or casual trysts from uncaring male Elves. Who wants to watch their children grow old and die... As with other half-breeds, I tend to play these as bitter loners and/or driven by obsessions.
Half-Ogre	Class	Level limit	Limit as exp.	Not in Baldurs Gate!

Halfling	Cleric	8	110,000	.

Halfling	Fighter-Thief	9 / 15	250,000 / 1,100,000	Excellent thieves!
Human	ALL	Unlimited	Unlimited	Short lived race!
NOTES: For demi-humans, high Prime Requisites allows higher level characters
Prime requisite:	14 / 15	+1 level
	16 / 17	+2 levels
	18	+3 levels
	19+	+4 levels
DM's may allow higher levels, but requiring more exp. to reach A point of note, from playing around, Baldurs Gate does not seem to impose any class limitations!
