I'd love Sorcs, but their inability to memorise spells both for repeated use and for experience is a pity. You can only know so much when it comes to spells, and later in the game they dont have as many spells as mages do at their disposal.
And for dual-classing, assuming you remove the EXP cap, what you can do is first create a fighter with 18 in intelligence and at least 17 in Strength and Constituition. Then play with him, and level him up till the benefits you're reaping begin to slow down (diminishing returns)
Then dual-class him to a mage. He'll start again as a mage at lvl 1, except with the hitpoints you gained as a fighter. That makes him tougher and more able to withstand punishment.
You'll continue the game as a pure mage, until you surpass the level you held as a fighter. When that happens, you REGAIN your fighter abilities, like your THAC0 and your Proficiencies and all, but continue to progress as a pure mage. In essence, its giving a mage pre-stored fighter abilities to make him even tougher.
