I'd go with another straight Dwarven fighter. Perhaps then you could make a Gnome Cleric/Illusionist which was one of the best all around support characters I ever managed. However, I do agree with your idea of a straight Cleric, especially for Burial island (HoW) and TotL. You asked about missle weapons and your Druid. A personal rule I never break when I play is that ALL of my characters MUST be able to use missle weapons of some sort, i.e., bows, slings, throwing axes, etc. There were those times when my party of six could get in one and even two rounds of missle use and put some major damage on an opponent or 3 before my Tanks went toe to toe. Let us know how you make out.
