Garrick is lame. If you plan on playing Baldurs Gate 2 and exporting your main, I wouldn't suggest dual classing yet. If you feel you must dual class him; here are a few combinations (this is using the 161,000 exp cap from TotSC) 5 fighter (16k) / 9 wizard (135k), 6 fighter (32k) / 8 wizard (90k), or 7 fighter (64k) / 8 wizard (90k) but wont be able to use his fighting skills till much later in the game.

It's imperative that you get a cleric to fill your last slot or you better be carrying a ton of healing potions. Hope this information helps out.

Heh I'm running a F/M/T solo at lvl 8/9/10 at the moment! He's good!! How do I do it? Easy. DSotSC raises the XP-cap to 2.000.000 XP.

I never really liked dualling anyway. If you want the abilities of both classes go for a multiclass MainCharacter. In BG2 the cap is so high you can get a really powerful character.

As for Garrick he's ok in my book. Bards can do almost everyting somewhat well - even as back-up tanks.

I have a party saved with a paladin, Imoen, 3 homemade bards and Garrick. I call it 'Sir Robin and his minstrels'

It's fun and 5 archers really is good in BG1.

Don't listen to Glaivas. garrick isn't a strong solo character, but he has abilities to back up your mage, thief and fighter. He makes a decent ranged attacker with a crossbow, can cast mage spells, can learn from any school of magic, can pick pockets, can wear armor and wade into combat if need be, and can ID most any item by the time he reaches level 5, as well as his other strengths. All in all, he is definitely my pick for best 6th person in the group...
