Baldur's Gate 2 Character Class

[Sleepery]

Been thinking of playing through BG2 again with a few of the mods mentioned in the other thread. Just wondering, how did everyone who's played do their character?

First time through mine was a swashbucker till level 10, then dual classed to a mage.

Second time was a fighter - the one that can't wear armour or use ranged weapons, again dualled to a mage at 10 or so.

Looking do do something a bit different this time around, multiclass ranger / cleric or maybe something dual classed with monk, sorceror maybe.

Thoughts?

My problem was that I always wanted to be able to do everything. Swashbuckler/ mage = fight, dual wield, all the thief stuff bar backstab and then a crap load of spells

Looking at at pure skald too, although that's really pretty much the same thing in a different class.

I think I've avoided monks in the past since most of the cool gear you pick up is useless for your main character, since he's best without weapons or armour.
