Where are these discussions?

I just finished BG1 with my character, and I want to continue on to BG2! (Unfortunately I don't have BG2 with me, it's in my work locker... LOL!).

Whats cool about my finishing Bg1 is that I did it without reloading even once. I'm going to see how far I can get in the entire trilogy this way!

Eh. I've used a cleric to melee.

Rigteous Magic + DUMH gives you a 1 minute monster.

Of course, that was the Dwarf Fighter/Cleric and the Half-Orc Priest of Talos.

(Said Fighter/Cleric became hideously powerful in ToB. As long as he had Imp Haste on.... whatever he fought went down in seconds. Seriously. He downed the dragon in WK by himself.)

Pure class clerics can melee nicely, and any sort of cleric/fighter cross is devastating, with pride of place going to the ranger/cleric.

I'm sure the mage/cleric can also be buffed up to be very deadly in combat, but as I said, I'm also sure that the AK-47 makes a very deadly club. However, as long as you have a supply of bullets it's much more effective when used as a rifle.

some examples

Early on doom + glitterdust is cute in a minor sequencer. Party friendly, the target enemy has to save vs spells at -2 or be incapacitated for 4 rounds. All other enemies have to save with no bonus or be incapacitated. Unlike horror no one is immune to blindness, and it can only be removed with a dispel. Blinded enemies can only melee at enemies who are right next to them. Move away and they stand there waiting to be killed.

Blind the dragon! Blind the dragon!
