I am getting close to winding down my first full playthrough of BG:EE. Tomorrow I'm jumping on a plane, so I want to have a backup character planned in case I finish the game in flight and want to start over. I'm considering playing a mage, which I never do, but not a pure mage.
Obviously, Fighter/Mage is an option. But what about a Cleric/Mage or a Mage/Thief? Are either of those any good or really poor? Cleric/Mage is most intriguing to me at the moment, but it seems a tad wasteful (can't use heavy armor) and hard to roll (would need high int and wis and I would like str of 10+, decent con & dex).
Or should I just roll a Skald instead? :/
