Ok, I love the magic system. I also like chunking bad guys with badarse weapons. I also enjoy soloing more than partying (I think, I'm kinda on the benches about that one).

My problem is, I have not yet finished the game, because usually around the Asylum I think of a new character concept and start a new game, and the purist in me makes me delete the old one.

Do I need BG Anonymous? Is there any hope for me at all? Here are the main problems:

I am soloing a Sorcerer, reveling in the power, then pick up a weapon like Celestial Fury and think to myself "MUHAHAHAHA!!!", but alas, I cannot use it.

I am soloing a Kensai reveling in the carnage, then find Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting and think to myself "HAR HAR HAR HAR!!!", but alas, I am a retarded fighter.
Full Stop.

I have always role-played characters that take time to increase their power, but in the end are more powerful for the effort. I hate restrictions, and usually play games that have a single protagonist. For example, my favorite type of character is a Martial Artist wielding a Quarterstaff and twin butterfly swords, but who has extensive knowledge of magic to complement his unarmed fighting styles and to overcome enemies immune to his mundane weapons. There is no equivalent to this in BG terms, as a Monk cannot dual-class (you'd think an ascetic life spent in study and learning would lend itself well to dual-classing to a mage...) and I think this is terrible because the beauty of the game far outshines Pool of Radiance, which was crap.

Any ideas?
