ty for the analysis.

@Sarin
Ranger/cleric (and ranger/druid) IS a valid multiclass, else it would not be valid dualclass either.

@Tomek
Adding gold isn't really cheating. With one character you'd have plenty of gold early anyway, but itemselling trips are a BIIIG timewaster.
As you would gain the gold anyway, and you could replace it by doing some "stupid shortcut technic" (= running in highlevel areas just for a treasure chest then running out), I found this acceptable. Please don't argue about it.

And just for your sake I tell you I'll do the "hey, Minsc can have it too!" bypass too.

@hunvagy
I think ranger offers only very little adventages, and as requires hugh amount of exp to progress in it, it'd just slow me down (especially on the turn undead side).

Otherwise: I never dualclassed before, and this is the only chance I'll ever do the cleric stronghold.


Progress: I'm heading towards the Cloakwood Forest. In the bandit camp the boss outside the tent was too hard for melee, had to shoot arrows. Arrows also helped against the group of red mages in some area.
Sirens if you have only 1 character near them, are still a joke, as unlike in BG2 being charmed doesn't mean instadeath (got the Constitution-book).
