You can get all the spells with a dual class fighter mage ( or cleric/mage, like Balgin says- that's a really good one too), but you don't get your fighter abilities back until you have made one level higher than whatever level you dual classed. So if you were a fighter that dual classed at 3rd level, you would be bound by all the regular restrictions of your mage until you made fourth level mage (no armor, only staff/dagger/sling/darts). After that, IT'S ON!!! As far as wearing armor on a dual class mage, the only type that allows you to cast spells (besides the robes) are the various elven chainmails. There are some really good robes in icewind dale, if you find them (or use DaleKeeper to browse through them). Remember, only humans can dual class, unless you alter their race using a cheat. For a three character party, where most everyone will probably go hand-to-hand, a mage definately needs some brawn to back up those spells. By the way, you can wear full plate +1, or whatever, and still cast spells using wands, just not from memory.
