Remove XP Cap
To remove the Experience Point Cap in Baldur's Gate 2, first browse to your BG2 directory and make a copy of the BGMain.exe application file. Then, open a Hex Editor and open BGMain.exe. Search for the ASCII string 'xpcap' (all lower case). Change the 'x' to another character (any letter should work). Save the file, and launch BG2.

Note: Although your characters can now progress to level 40, for some checks the game still sees you as 20th-or-so. Spell progression for seems to cease at 20th level, and you may not have enough skill points to become Grand Master in every weapon or maximize every thief skill, even at 40th level. Save your game before you level your characters to 40. No game-critical events should be affected by your unnatural level.
