Kaleban,
Make him a human ranger. Play him up to 13th level (which allows max THACO for fighters if I remember right, but you might want to check that).
Then dual him over to a mage. Just make sure you have a good Dex(for AC), Con(for HP), and Int(for mage).
This will also let you level-up faster.
I've created a Ranger in BG1 with awesome starting stats. I plan to play him through BG1 and boost his stats using the various Tomes and Manuals, then bring him into BGII and eventually dual him to a mage.
