"Class change advice needed"
I'm pretty impressed that there's still a community for this game 13 years after it was released.

Anyway, having recently got back into playing CDS (thank you DosBox) I've come up against a slight problem. In my previous games, many years ago, I would normally class change pretty constantly throughout the game. By the time I got to the end everyone had great skills and 4 of my party were level 20-24, one was only level 12 and one was level 43.

This time I think I want to change to a final class fairly soon and stick to it for everyone. At the moment I've just completed Nyctalinth (done the Munk city, New City, Orkogre and Ukpyr as well) and I'm about to set off for the Dane tower. I think I want to have all my final classes in place before the end of the tower.

I probably want to end up with a Lord/Valkyrie, 2 Samurai, a Ninja, a Monk and something else (maybe a Ranger). The main problem I have is that my Priest hasn't changed class yet and I want him to end as a Monk. At the same time he needs to change to a Preist-casting profession to get quicker access to the high level Priest spells but he's 3 Per short of being able to change to a Lord.

Is it worth changing to something else now, changing back to a Priest and then waiting to change to a Monk after that? Also, does my final party look OK, bearing in mind that most people are going to end up with one complete spellbook and one half-learned book from previous professions?

You can play through without ever changing class .. and you will have stronger characters at the end (higher levels are important). So if you are switching back and forth a fwe times, it doesn't matter much what you do to get to the last profession .. its' more an issue of when.

Once you get past level 10 or so, you can regain levels 1 through 10 in the time it takes to gain one level anywhere past 10. So, if everyone save yoru priest was done switching at the same time and then 3 levels later you switch him, he would be at most 3 or 4 levels behind everyone else.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured from experience. I'm just not 100% sure about changing the Priest to somehting else because his stats will drop back down to base minimums again. But, like you say, after level 10 the levels take so long I think I probably would be better off just changing now.

Thanks
