Kits and the 3 by 20 rule ?

Unread post by Theodore01 »

Are kits (like classes) affected by this rule ?
Or is it legal to take a first kit level at level 21 (as example) ?

you can take the kit whenever it pleases you. There is no such rule, at least not yet

I just read it last week and it seems that Prcs ARE included in the rule.

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=36831

"– Three By 20
– 3 Levels of Each Class at Level 20 (3b20) Rule: A PC (the build plan) must have 3 levels in every class at level 20 (example of a build's class level distribution at the 20th character level: 17/3 or 14/3/3/ or 11/3/3/3). Prestige classes are included in this rule. So for example, a Rogue 12/Wizard 5/Arcane Trickster 3 is okay. A Rogue 13/Wizard 5/ Arcane Trickster 2 is not. Failure to observe this rule will result in the de-leveling of your PC to a legal state with NO XP refund!"

Prcs are. The kits arent.
For example you have to have at least 3 paladin levels before level20. However you can start the Cavalier ( A kit for the paladin class ) progression after 20

Kits is a new - still green - feature of BG.

Some classes like monk, paladin and ranger have them. Basically it changes the base class. There is a feat added "X kits" Where X is the base class name. Drag it on your hotbar and click on it. It will display the available kits - if any - and all the information about them.

Paladin kits.

No clue where the other kits are.

Not sure if all of these are kits or how current the information is. I do know that Hunter is the only Ranger kit that I can access through activating Ranger kit feat in game.
