Spirits forever said "Cleric" and in that I include Druids.....

Never underestimate the power of a high level druid, especially a Druid/Fighter Dual/Multi class. Not only are they good warriors, they can compliment their fighter abilities with 'Iron Skins', 'Creeping Doom', 'Heal' and 'Regeneration'. Those spells are severly powerful, a fighter that regenerates, can heal himself, disrupt enemy spell casting whilst causing damage to them and temporarily make himslef invulnerable to damage using 'Iron Skins'! GREAT! And the HLAs 'Greater Elemental Summoning' and 'Fire Elemental Transformation' are good as well.

As you might be able to see, I have a certain fondness for Jaheira. I recently started a Fighter dual classed to a Druid in BG1 and am working through that. Despite the fact that my fighter class is only Level 2, I can still get a +5 Proficency in Scimtar later on in SoA!

However, some people seem to think the obvious choice is Sorceror. Whilst it's fun to play and certainly powerful, I'd challenge them with my Fighter/Druid any day. I might not win, but I'd make a fantastic runner up!

I don't have my game manual handy, can anyone tell me if a Druid can cast 'Shield of the Archons'?
