In the BG2 forums I saw a recomendation for a Half Orc Fighter/Cleric... With 20 strength even a cleric might be useful. Maybe Str20/dex18/con18/int1/wis18/cha1 You wouldn't be able to turn undead, but I didnt get a lot of sucessfull use of that ability anyway. When you realy need it, like on a lich or some other powerful undead, they always make there saving throw. All you really need for skills is concentration. And if you go for Tempus you could use "Strength of Tempus" and raise his strength to 26 at level 1. Hmmm, I think I just talked myself into this. [img]smile.gif[/img]

A cleric is only a good fighter if you gave him fighter stats. My cleric had around 14 str and con, and 18 wis. He wasn't that bad as a fighter.
Also, turn undead is not to be used when fighting one powerfull undead. It's use is to quicly kill many lower undeads. I was able to use it to kill any regular undead, and I was able to have greater drowned dead stay away from me, wich was great to then blast them with fireballs and such.
