Dundee is absolutely correct ... dual classed fighter-clerics can be really awesome. My best example is, annoying personality aside, Anomen. After you give him the guantlets of DEX, Anomen becomes a really great fighting tank/cleric. Put 5 *'s in warhammer, give him Crom Faeyr, and he'll be kicking tail in no time flat!!!

I think the key is determining the proper level at which to dual. Too low and you don't get enough advantage from the 1st class. Too high and you must wait (seemingly) forever for the 1st class to reactivate. (My guess for anytime you have a fighter as your first class, is that the "best" time to dual would be immediately after upleveling at a level that earned you another weapon proficiency point. I'm thinking somewhere in the 7-9 range.)
