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.

With all of that in mind, I started a new game in BG1 with a Cleric (Lawful Good, of course), with the idea of exporting him into BG2 where he should become quite powerful.
Speaking of Cleric spells, I wonder why BG1, BG2, IWD did not incorporate the various "Light" & "Darkness" spells??
