Hi Bob, I've done this many times, and it makes for a great-dual classed character when all's said and done. Believe it or not, but by being a mage/thief, you often end up with more spells than you would if you were a regular mage (Dakkon Zerth's blade grants you four extra spells and is not usable by straight mages, for example). My stats were:
STR 19
DEX 19
CON 16
INT 19
WIS 12
CHA 10
I went up to level 10 as an assassin before dualing to a mage. I had 84 hit points and an AC of -8, which is far better than your average spell-caster. As I say, I've played this class many times and it's endless fun. The possibilities are limitless and you easily become of the (if not the) most versatile character in BG II.
Good luck [img]smile.gif[/img]
