I agree that BG2 and TOB are a must have if you like IWD. As for getting used to being lower levels as you start IWD, I'd say that it can pay to hang around an area like the vale of shadows for a while and gain xp killing yetis and the local balcksmith will give you cash for the pelts too. Unfourtanatly the spells in that area you can buy are a bit pants though. Anyway to answer the origional message I think that the following is a good combo for games, but it depends on your playing style:

Mage/Cleric
Mage
Ranger
Fighter/Thief
Fighter
Fighter.

This gives you lots of magic and the thief to open the locks, chests etc while you have lots of power in the thick of it as well. also as the ranger gets high level he will be able to cast spells as well!
