You know, if you want to recreate your old PnP character in BG2 and come out a little high on the stats, you can just set the stats to the level you want and leave the spare points. You could also give the tomes to other characters.
The BG2 equipment is a bit over the top, but that's what you get with all those items

.
BTW, it's good to see your character has a background. That really adds so much to his being alive in your head.

The last arrow of Legolas kindled in the air as it flew,
and plunged burning into the heart of a great wolf-chieftain.
All the others fled. -J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
