Pls excuse me as I am new to AD&D in general and to BG2 in particular. Although I have played many other RPGs to date none have been AD&D titles. It is somewhat confusing with its many rules. The purpose of my post was to seek some general advice on how to distribute skill points to a fighter-type PC without putting it into something that would not be of much use later.
To sum up: it is better to put points into weapon proficiencies rather than fighting styles. I would have thought that it would be the other way around as fighting styles work across weapon types.
