I intend to have 4 proficiency points in bows
In IWD, you may only place a maximum of 3 proficiency points into any missile weapon.

The lucky scimitar should strike as a +2 weapon. The luck bonus while equipped actually means that this weapon provides a +3 THAC0 bonus, but you must have the latest patch installed otherwise this luck bonus is not granted due to a bug. (I've got HoW installed and patch 1.41 corrected this for me).

Ther are some nice scimitars in IWD including Frostbrand +3 and the excellent Valliant (identical to Belm in BG2)

By the way what are your fighters stats? I worked out that for a human fighter -> druid, ideal stats need to be:

STR 15 (absolute minimum for dual classing)
DEX 18,CON 18 (these are optional but need to be high to make an effective tank, otherwise you're taking the fight out of fighter)
INT 9 (minimum to use protection scrolls and not be treated like a moron)
WIS 17 (minimum for dual class, 18 prefferably)
CHA 17 (minimum for dual classing)

so to make a decent F->D I work out that you need at least 94 ability points which is incredibly difficult to roll for a human fighter with mostly 3 minimums! This was for BG2 though so there might be a few differences in IWD.
