It's a pretty dumb question from someone who's been playing BG2 for 10 years, but what are all the dual class options? I haven't found a full list here or elsewhere.

There are single classes I've never played (such as Bard) so I certainly haven't played all the possible dual classes for humans.

I've found plenty of recommendations on prefered dual classes (such as Kensai/Mage). That's not what I need.

I could tediously start new games with different types of humans in a multiplayer party and max all their stats with Ctrl-8. I'd have to start the game in the Irenicus Dungeon and then select dual class, character by character. It would be much easier if some brainbox could just tell me what all the options are! I don't need the sub-class combos such as Berserker/Mage, just the general options such as Fighter/Mage, etc.

Just open the "dualclas.2da" if you have one with a text editor(notepad), and you see something like this:

Obviously the zeros are no, while the one's are yes. And if you have a new kit, they also should have one of those lines.

This is about the 20th time Jarno has answered a technical question for me. So, for about the 20th time, many thanks, Imp!

Also, you can only dual-class into something you can multi-class with.

That's not entirely true, as you can do kit's, especially if you install kit mods and then modify the dualclas.2da . But yes, you can't dual-class to other base classes or from them, or well -you can- but the game will crash if you try to dual your bard to a ranger for example.

[Kellen]

Well, you can dual class from a kit, but not to one.

Unless you cheat.
