Hello everyone!

What's this like? I tried doing it myself but it feels too cheap for me to follow through with it. I guess it's like the blademaster from Warcraft 3 but that game is a different animal entirely.
One thing to be aware of: This combination is only possible with dual-classing (or using a save editor). As a dual-class character, there will be a time when your character is functionally a low level mage with extra hit points. During that time, your character will be weak. The longer you wait to dual class, the longer this period will be. For this particular combination, good levels to dual class are 9 (you only have to wait the equivalent of one later mage level to get kensai abilities back) or 13 (extra half attack).

Of note, I believe the kensai bonuses apply to all attacks, so a spell like Melf's Minute Meteors will be even more powerful than it is normally (+3 or +4 per hit adds up when you have 5 attacks per round).

Thanks for the reply!

Have you got it ticked as a favourite subject, so it only shows up the top?

It's showing up fine now. It was stuck in limbo a moment ago.
