I played a mage/thief through SoA and ToB and I have to say, for me personally, that I was disappointed that I couldn't melee as much as I wanted. So I will definately consider this in playing BG. The good thing was I could have more tanks, since I didn't need a thief. :)
LMAO! :D well since he is exploring the realms of Icewind Dale right now, it is unlikely you will meet to compare stats ;) and of course, balance is in a druids nature ;)

Melee is fun! :D have you decided on a class yet? and whether you will dual or not? :)

@GOA - let me know how you get on with your ranger :)

I personally haven't been playing that long but I was wondering whether or not a cleric Mage is a good idea.

I too recently went back to BG and tried a solo game, but I didn't get far before I noticed that a Bard lacks a severe amount of punch required in the early game. I can make it to Beregost even taking on the Ogre for the girdles, but I get killed by Marl, Silke, and the Huge Spiders. I'm thinking of going Cleric. But I'd really like to go witha Bard, and if you've got any input i'd be happy to hear it.

You may wanna stick with Imoen (I know I spelt that wrong) for a little while or at least until you build up in strength and then when you are ready to go on your own ditch her.

@Yshania

Yshania your Druid is very impressive. I've been meaning to try one, are they fun to play as?

I too want back to BG 1, played a solo game with a cleric/mage and now started SoA with that character. So far so good. Lot's of spells, if that's what you want.

Yes I think so :) If you want to have a go, let me know in PM and I can arrange to send you the druid to look at - all you would need to do is copy it into your char file and import :)

Actually a lot of spells seem to be a good idea. Magic seems to be the basis of all my characters.. I was just wondering if perhaps that kind of Character could make it all the way through the series. If so are there any suggestions on how to continue with the character?

I am currently going through SoA with my cleric/mage, Aerie(cleric/mage too) and Yoshimo, until i get Imoen back.
From what i have read from other players post, yes it is possible to make it through the series, and some of them have accually soloed the game this a cleric/mage. so, we will see....
