Doh. Must have missed this before. Pure D&D has rules about what levels certain races are allowed to reach--these rules are
not carried over into Baldur's Gate. (Even though the Character Creation screen says "Humans are the only race that can play as any class, and advance to any level.") Take it from me: Race is irrelevant when it comes to gaining levels. There ARE no spells (except Druid-only and Wild Mage-only spells) that a Cleric/Mage cannot get, they simply have to wait twice as long to be able to cast them. So, provided you've installed Throne of Bhaal (or at least an EXP cap remover), any Cleric/Mage in your party will eventually be casting every spell in the game. If you're concerned about wanting to cast the high-level spells as soon as possible, just include a pure Wizard (which you say you've done with your conjurer), and let the C/M be your backup. I frequently find that it's good to have a spare, allowing you do do things like cast Web just
one second after a Greater Malison, and the like.
But for now, I think you're OK on the Wizard spells: What you need is more Warrior muscle, Minsc and Jaheira aren't going to be able to handle everything on their own. For a 6-person party, this is my ideal mix:
2.5 Warriors
1 Priest (1/2 a Cleric, 1/2 a Druid)
Around 0.75 of a Thief
1.5 Wizards
