Good posts on clerics here by several of you. Here are some other advantages. 1) Clerics can use every type of armor that a fighter can use without a penalty to spell casting. 2) They can be used as an offensive tank if needed. By the AD&D parameters, clerics are actually 2nd in terms of melee' combat. 3) Thus, they can use a fair amount of weapons and I really like to use them with a sling and bullets.

BG2 really makes the cleric a MUCH more viable PC/NPC. BG1 is notorious for weighing heavily in favor of fighters/rangers/paladins especially in the weapon catagory, etc. BG@ gives a whole lot more cool weapons usable by clerics and a ton more useful spells.
