I thought I'd post a quick update, since you've all helped me so much.

In the end I went with a ranger/cleric dualclassed, and dualled right away at the start of Irenicus' dungeon. I flew through the dungeon (probably since I completed it recently and knew the way) and started collecting my party ...

If you're dual classing to Mage or Fighter, any weapon will do. If you want to dual class to Cleric (the most interesting option, IMO), I think that Quarterstaves are the only viable option.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Quarterstaves are the only viable option", do you mean that's the only ...

I think I'll go multi... it just sounds like less hassle, and I'm sure the amount of grey hair on my head has multiplied at an alarming rate as it is since I decided to attempt this game again :p So less hassle it is.
I'm an odd beast when it comes to RPGs, I don't mind powerful builds and a little ...

Wow, thank you all for the detailed help!

I think I might reroll as a neutral good ranger/cleric. I love the idea of that character RP wise. Ive got the mod where NPCs won't leave regardless of alignment, so that should help with my party.

Dragon wench, thanks for the heads up on the intelligence ...

I've started playing Baldur's gate with a sorceress, but after meeting some of the NPCs it seems like I'm going to end up with a party that's without mayor divine casters.

To be specific, it looks like I'll run with:

Jan (possibly replaced by Imoen)
Edwin (with the romance mod)
Valgyar (or ...

Edwin's mod only requires SoA, although there is a ToB component for if you do have ToB, and for Solafein ToB is optional as well, so I should be alright.

I'm half-thinking of starting over from scratch though. at the moment I'm being a sorceress, and adding Edwin (or Sola) will make me a bit mage ...

Thanks everyone for posting.

I found the Kelsey mod, but as I said, he didn't sound quite like what I'm looking for, even though I'm sure the mod is of high quality.

the Edwin mod sounds just perfect, exactly what I'm looking for. I love some good banter and snark, it would be nice to have a love ...

Over the years I've tried and retried baldur's gate, but I never could get into it. I recently reinstalled on a whim, and... lo and behold... I'm loving it.
The only thing I'm not loving so much is Anomen, I keep wanting to bash him on his head with his own mace. :p
I have to admit I'm a sucker for ...
