    With TOB XP cap jumps to a max 8 million. Good thing but have a few questions and request some answers. (for BG2 with TOB installed)

    1. What is the maximum XP (approximate) in total possible by the end of SOA adventure (and before adding Watcher's Keep, SOA to TOB transition XP bonus, cheating like reloading at spawn points and irrespective of Party formation)

    2. Is it possible for a Solo player (belonging any class and kit excluding Dual class protagonist) to gain High Level Abilities by the end of Chapter 2?

    3. It has come to my attention in some fan forums that a player or a party can hit 8 million XP in SOA alone even before transition to TOB?
    Now, how is this possible? :confused:

    4. Any one can comment or offer a review about "Spell Revisions Mod 3.1" hosted at gibberlings mod site?
    It sounds cool and need some utility review before installing it! :holy:

    thanks..

    1. Party size is important because some XP is split between partyt members (usually from battles) while other XP (usually quests) is a fixed amount per party member regardless of the number of members in the party. So a full party of 6 will collectively have more XP than a solo character. IIRC, by the end of Ch. 6, a full party will have roughly 3 million XP each if all quests were done.
    2. I believe so, or you'll at least be close.
    3. Full party, no. Solo - maybe, if Watcher's Keep is done as well.
    4. No idea.

    You are probably going to get better responses on this question by using the official forum for that mod at G3. I'm not sure how commonly it is used around here. I've not used it before, so I can't be of any assistance.

    To add on what Splunge has said....

    1. I think 3 million is about right. With ToB installed (and not going through Watcher's Keep) characters can get HLAs before going to hell.

    2. Easily. You won't even complete half the quests before you gain HLAs. I got'ta tell ya; Kangaxx, Firkraag, the alphabet dragon and the Runestone dudes are just too easy with a cleric/thief who has spike trap, UAI, and implosion. Chapter 2 just gets boring.

    3. Not a problem for solo. As Splunge said, six characters all get about 3 million xps in SoA (by Chapter 6 even) ... that's 18 million xps. No matter how you slice that chunk up between combat and quest xps you hit 8 million easily. You'll need a cap remover to level in ToB.

    4. Never heard of it. Good luck on that.
