The same reason I dualed a berserker to a thief, an abjurer to a fighter, a kensai to a druid, and a beast master to a cleric. Puts something new into the game. (Especially the abjurer/fighter.

Also the Beastmaster Cleric would be a good character since you never could use swords anyway and there are some pretty powerfull staffs in the game
And having only studded leather armor isnt that big of a disadvantage if you take into account the fact that you have a stealth ability that cant be used with any more then studded leather
