Gil-Galad, you need to look at multiclassing differently from your (and my) experience with it in the 2ed games (i.e. BG1/2, IWD1). It's simply a much different animal in the 3rd ed rules.

There's nothing particuly wrong with your "exotic" party. I wouldn't suggest a bard/cleric MC however. Bards tend to be better off as pure class characters. You don't want to slow their progress towards getting the War Chant of Sith at level 11. Furthermore, 3rd ed bards have access to some healing spells, so they're mildly useful healers in battle.

I'm no fan of monks, but if you want to give one a shot, go for it.

A rather standard multiclass combo is the barbarian X/fighter 4 to get access to weapon specialization.
