Similarly, the only race that can Dual-class is Human . . . I was quite surprised that you didn't already know this, Rockstar.

By the way, I need to correct what I said above, about Inquisitors: It seems that their Dispel Magic "strikes" as a Level 0 spell, which means that it can affect Liches & Rakshasa. My bad.

Anyway, my "perfect" party builds . . .

Dual Delight:
Mage(2) -> Fighter
Ranger(15) -> Cleric
Fighter(13) -> Mage
Thief(13) -> Fighter
This party lacks a Priest & real Mage almost all through BG1, but spending some extra gold on Healing potions approximates the Priest, and Mages are next to useless in BG1 anyway. The Mage->Fighter is a classic Tank with the ability to bust out Wands & Scrolls, the Ranger->Cleric is obviously the uber-Priest and backup Tank, the Fighter->Mage is the primary spellcaster, and the Thief->Fighter is auxiliary support. The Thief Dual will be the trickiest, and keeping the party alive through 1.5 million EXP of not having a Thief will require some metagaming to avoid heavily Trapped areas. If I wanted to get munchkin, I'd give the last 3 characters kits of Archer, Bowman, and Swashbuckler.

Multi Madness:
Halfling Fighter/Thief
Half-Elven Ranger/Cleric
Elven Fighter/Mage
Elven Fighter/Mage/Thief
'Nuff said.
