Hello,
I agree that the clerics need a shield (of course, the best ones appear to mostly be beyond of their natural strength requirements; I like the strength belts to go to fighters and thieves instead, and I'll even pass by Crom Faere(sp.) to keep 'em [note: you can raise strenght with a certain mace or potions and then equipt, but that is a little too contrived]), except for times when the Magi +5 is needed.

Shield bashing would be great and realistic! The shields do have nice resistances, and my characters are set up to go either way. Still, I too have relaxed my BG1 propensities and realized the advantages of a quicker kill. Two proficiencies in 2 weapons takes you to about a normal attack with each, right (or, was that 3 proficiencies)?

Now, if I only one could switch quickly from a missle weapon to 2 weapons with one click...
