89,000
Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast
161,000
Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn
2,950,000
Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal
8,000,000
Experience Cap Adjustment
To adjust the Experience Cap, open the file XPCAP.2da in the override directory of Baldur's Gate I or II and change the number. If the file is not present, download it from the links below. By setting the number to -1, you remove the limit allowing your characters to reach a Level of around 40 in BG II.
The Level 50 Patch linked to below removes the Experience Cap and allows characters to reach Level 50 in Baldur's Gate II. In the words of the author:
"This patch does several things. First it disables the experience cap allowing you to reach the higher levels. Second it modifies the class tables to match the standard AD&D rules for all classes up through level 50. A warrior for example will now gain all warrior advantages. The special abilities have also been modified to allow for the kits to get all of their level based perks."
