I don't know about the others, but I'm also doing what you're currently doing: starting as a fighter, then dualing over to a cleric in BG2. Sadly, I can no longer play BG1, as one of my cd's for the game is broken. So I've just had to settle with recreating my character in BG2, giving the character the same class, and similar stats to, what I would have given the character in BG (of course, making sure I take into account the fact that I'm going to dual class to a cleric, and so not only have the stats I want for a fighter, but also a cleric). I'm actually playing through for the second time (not including my failed attempts) with this concept. What I've been doing is dual classing over once my fighter got to level 8. At what level you dual class, of course, is your own choice. I have to say, though, the weapon restrictions can be a pain, but there are still quite a few of cleric-friendly weapons that are good.

I've enjoyed playing through with my fighter/cleric. (Actually, it's the only character I've gotten all the way through the game with, and it seems to be the only character I can do so with; my other characters never last long. Though, with each run-through I find I tend to make some change or other to the character; so far my current game hasn't been the case)

And galtzaiLe, if it makes you feel better, you do know something that I don't: TuTu. I have never used it (don't think I have, anyways), and I'm not even too sure what it is. (I don't really need an explanation - it would take up space on this thread, and is a little off-topic; I can always just do a search on it)

I haven't been able to get Melf's Minute Meteors to work in combination with Offensive Spin in BGTutu. (I was using cheat codes inside Candlekeep, so I don't really know what's "out there".) Is it just not meant to be?

Link?

The character I'm referring to was a solo run, and I would only memorize defensive spells. I know the game so well that I'd remove my armor, cast Mirror Image, and then put it back on. That's really the only spell I used.

I don't really use armor for bards in BG1, only at the start.

Bards with Wands.

The author of that suggests wearing armor.

Yes, that is true. I wasn't posting that guide to prove a point. Just a show of how to use bards offensively. Not wearing armor is my personal preference. I prefer to have the ability to cast spells during combat, especially in BG2. You can get off without wearing armor during all battles but one anyway.
