Kann mir mal wer eine Quelle im Internet nennen, wo man *exakt* nachlesen kann, welche Limitierungen es bei der Dual Class gibt?

Hintergrund: Ich habe den Ärger bei Icewind Dale, dass die gewünschte Klasse dann wenn ich Dual Class wähle oft nicht verfügbar ist.

Normally the 2nd Edition AD&D rules allows for 8 character classes:

Paladin*
Bard*
Fighter
Ranger
Druid
Cleric
Mage
Thief

* Cannot be multi/dual classed

Not all of these classes will be in all games. There are also combinations
of these classes called, Multiclasses, where one person can be two or three
classes at once. Humans cannot multiclass, they can only Dual class.

Which multiclass you can be depends on the race of your character.

Races and Multiclasses:
-----------------------

Dwarf Halfling
----- --------
Fighter/Thief Fighter/Thief
Fighter/Cleric
Half-Elf
Elf --------
--- Fighter/Cleric
Fighter/Mage Fighter/Thief
Fighter/Thief Fighter/Druid**
Mage/Thief Fighter/Mage
Fighter/Mage/Thief Cleric/Ranger
Cleric/Mage
Gnome Thief/Mage
----- Fighter/Mage/Cleric
Fighter/Cleric Fighter/Mage/Thief
Fighter/Illusionist*
Fighter/Thief
Cleric/Illusionist*
Cleric/Thief
Illusionist/Thief*

*Illusionists are not in all games, this could be considered "mage"
**Druids are not in all games

As you can see, Half-Elves are the most versatile of all races when it comes
to multiclassing.

Experience for the multiclassed character is divided evenly among his
various classes. If a Fighter/Thief gains 1000 experience from killing an
evil Halfling of Doom, then his Fighter half gains 500 experience and his
Thief half gains 500 experience. Thusly, the multiclassed character usually
levels up at half the speed of "plain" characters.

Hitpoints are handled similarly. When the Fighter/Thief gains a Fighter
level, he gains 1/2 the normal Fighter HP. Fighters normally get 10 HP per
level, and the Fighter/Thief would gain 5 HP max for a Fighter level and 3
for the Thief level. Constitution bonuses are handled in one of two ways:

1) You get the bonus once per number level. So, our Fighter/Thief would
get the CON bonus when his Thief level goes up as that levels up faster.
2) The CON bonus is divided by your number of classes and you get one part
per each class' level. If you were a Fighter/Thief you would still get
the extra CON for warriors.

Dual classing is the Human answer to Multiclassing. At level 2 or higher,
the human can decide to switch to a new class. Then for a time he will be
JUST that class until his new class exceeds the level of his old class. At
that point your old classes' abilities return and you become similar to a
Multiclass... except that you are only levelling one class now, rather than
dividing your exp amongst classes.

Note: As far as I know, only the Baldur's Gate/Infinity Engine games have
implemented Dual Classing. Bryan A. Keith mentions that some of
the later Gold Box games implemented Dual Classing (Curse and
beyond).

There are several conditions to Dual Classing:

1) You MUST be Human.
2) You MUST be at least level 2.
3) You MUST start from a Class that can dual. Paladins/Bards cannot Dual
to anything, nor can you dual anyone to a Bard/Paladin.
4) The combination MUST be a valid "Multiclass." If you can't find it
on the list above (ignore the race restrictions), then you can't dual
it. An example of an ILLEGAL class would be a Fighter/Ranger. Not
a valid Multiclass, so you can't Dual it either.
5) You need to have sufficient Stats. You need at least 15 in the Prime
Stats of your current class (i.e. 15 STR for a Fighter) and at least
17 in the Prime Stats of your desired class (i.e. 17 INT for a Mage).

Note: Specialist Mages have an extra "Prime Stat" beyond just INT.

6) Finally there is also an Alignment Requirement. Thieves cannot be
Lawful, so a Lawful Good Fighter cannot Dual to a Thief. Also Druids
must be True Neutral.

So, a level 2, Neutral Good Fighter with 15 STR and 17 DEX can dual to a
Thief. While a level 2, Neutral Good Thief with 15 STR and 17 DEX can't.
(he would need 17 STR and 15 DEX) When the first hypothetical character
gained level 3 as a Thief, he would become a true Fighter/Thief, however he
would only gain Thief levels.

Note: It doesn't matter which order you go from. You can start out as a
Thief and dual to a Fighter, or a Fighter to a Thief. It amounts
to the same thing. Which way you do it only affects which class
will continue to gain experience.
