I'm going through game for second time. There is one, maybe two, members of my party I'm thinking of changing. I was hoping for a great party, but it may be a time for change. My question is about what to expect when I change in regard to all the points that have been built up with the original character(s)? or anything else unexpected? Please don't ask what are you changing from and to - that's not my question, but If changing to certain character from another is important in point lost, or a long time to make it up, then thanks for your answer.
PS - This is a great forum!

Pluses:
You retain all EXP primary and secondary skills of your class at the time of changing.
You gain all special skills of your new class.

Minuses:
You lose all special skills of your old class.
To gain a level takes as much EXP as it would to go to the next level in your new class. (example: change from mage at level 10 to a fighter at level 10 you would need as much EXP as it would take to go from a fighter level 10 to a fighter level 11 in order to reach the next level)
Any skills that are not applicable to your new class are frozen and can't be increased in any way(example fighter to mage a fighter has sword skill of say 50 the mage would have that skill but be unable to increase it because he can't use a sword, this may or may not be true of magic skills from old class to new, most probable no new spells of the old class can be learned.)
Hybrid classes take 5 levels of increase in the new class before they can learn the new classes magic.
