Nerull, the reason Imoen is dual classed at the beginning, is so you will take Yoshimo with you. If Imoen was a regular thief, then why would you pick up Yoshy? Some first time players would say "Hey, i dont need this guy, i have Imoen, she is a pure thief like him, but she has more EXP. Go away Yoshimo!". Its the same reason Yoshimo is the only pure class thief in the game... So you will take him along for plot reasons.

Good point, but hey, if you could mod the game to somehow pick up your party imported from BG1, it would be nice. At least you would truly feel like you are continuing your game, instead of starting a whole new game.
In fact, a cool mod for BG1 would be to allow the races/classes/kits from BG2 (I don't know if anyone ever did that). It would be cool to be able to start out as a sorcerer, barbarian (how can you be a barbarian if you grew up in Candlekeep?), or one of the kits (the shapechanging abilities of the Avenger or Shapeshifter, though not achieved until a little later in BG1, would be nice in those games). Then you could truly take one character all the way through the entire game without ever having to "upgrade" your character when you hit BG2.
Anyway, when I moved from BG1 to BG2 with my conjurer, he had the claw on him but it did not make the trip (it still had the Helm of Balduran in the case, not the claw). Which is fine; though there are some nice helms in BG2, I still think the Helm of Balduran can be on one of your party members throughout the game. I mean, what other helm pretty much boost everything (except elemental damage, but hey, you can't be perfect...without cheating).
