Why He's Included and How to Use Effectively
The Fighter/Mage is a very potent mix in BG2. There are many spells in the game that will enhance his power as a fighter, which include Mirror Image, Stoneskin, and Fireshield. At the higher levels he can combine all three into a Spell Sequencer, which makes him a true machine of death. This also allows for some nice tactical possibilities against particularly dangerous foes. For example, he can prepare himself with his own magics while the priests also cast defensive spells on him. He can then step up to the fore to have the monsters concentrate their attacks harmlessly on him. Meanwhile, the rest of the party can blast away with missile weapons and spells at a distance.
He will also work well in tandem with Imoen, the party mage. For example, he would cast Slow and she would cast Chaos and the fight is pretty much over before it has even started. Likewise a double shot of Chain Lightning can be really devastating.
He does not gain levels as quickly as his single class counterparts in either class. Nonetheless, he can gain a useful spell repertoire even in the early stages of the game. Besides which Imoen is there to gain quick access to the high level mage spells. If you roll this character with high enough stats in BG1 and improve him even more with the Tomes in BG1, the slower advancement as a fighter is actually negligible.
The other concern is that he cannot wear armor and still cast spells. I keep an eye out for Bracers of Defence and later on Elven Chainmails. Of course it is imperative to use my defensive spells to best effect.
