Sorcerer/Cleric.. generally a bad idea to have 2 spell casting classes even in class level unless you start VERY high in character level. (and this isn't even taking into consideration the problem with attribute points.)

For instance a Sorcerer doesn't really come into power offensivly until about level 9. The Cleric is even worse.

My suggestion - play one type or the other.. not both.

If your going to tack-on another class then make the most of a few levels for that class. EX. my favorite combination is 2 levels of Monk and then Sorcerer. Essentially this allows the character to survive until they have achieved character level 11 - and thereafter becoming a powerhouse.

Additionally you'll have a VAST array of spells to choose from that won't be particularly helpfull offensivly (for the Sorcerer/Cleric).

As for the Druid/Shapeshifter. Understand that Shapeshifter is more of an add-on class. While your shapeshifted you can't use spells.. and while your a Druid spell casting you can't shapeshift. IF however your hitting epic levels and moving on from their then the Shapeshifter becomes more powerfull (particularly with undead form - Risen Lord). Note: it is nearly worthless to add a 3rd melee class with a Shapeshifter - the number of attacks are limited, so instead your better off augmenting either your druid class or adding a different class like Thief, Assasin, or ShadowDancer.
