But if he wants to take care of the thief and mage class in one character, a F/M isn't an option, although it is a powerful character.
Out of the 4 listed above, I'd say #2 or #3 is the better option for a relatively inexperienced player. #4 is the best option for an experienced player who doesn't mind going without a "proper" mage until after Dragon's Eye and is going to do HoW and TotL. #1 is a bad option for a main mage because it levels so slowly, except on HoF mode.
If you are playing on Core (normal) difficulty level with a 6-character party, a single class mage finds scrolls fast enough in IWD/HoW. It's not like IWD2.
