Boring!? What's boring about killing peopel with fireballs, or lgihtning bolts, or stopping time, or flying ,or shapeshifting, or bestign all the other classes in anything, or becoming so powerful the one can rival dietys? What's dull about THAT!?
That's not dull. That's fun. And when you become so powerful that it becomes dull then go conquer a kingdom or sometihing. I bet somebody will make your life interesting again after that. |

Gnomes are lame anyway. Not good for anything but stealing stuff, and inventing stuff, and a mage here and there. And the look silly, and they don't get any great bonuses.
Their a pretty silly Monk class. Just imagine the stubby Gnomes attacking it's opponents with it's hands & feet. Hah! It would have a hard time reaching them.
And their not really that physically strong a race.
No. I allways go for the most intelligent, diverse, and effective race. The Humans. |

Noo!
The elfes are the coolest, and I think I'l make a topic for that discussion right now.
But anyway the gnomes are almost made for being comic soo being a gnome monk is a very good idea, but mostly funny.  |

Hmmm... a Half-Dragon Inquisitor? (Or whatever those dudes that hunt dragons, and daemons are called)
Or a Berserker/Mage?
Or a Paladin/Priest of Talos? |

Inquistitor is one of the coolest, and most powerful, kits in Baldur's Gate 2, I had a blast with mine. Also an interesting choice, the kensai/thief. It is tricky to do right, but if you do you have sucessfully broken the game.  Also, The barbarian can make a fun choice, but I tend to prefer the berserker. |

A incredibly dumb Paladin might also be fun. Then again; paladins are fun nevertheless! It's allway fun to be allowed... no... it is demanded off you that you... kill every single Evil creature that you encounter! My, oh, my!

What flail? Most flails, well, are useable to fighters. Besides, the best weapons are not cleric-usable, anyway. Think Ravager. Think Sarevok with the Ravager or the vorpal sword.
Cleric in ToB == worthless!
The "level 10" spells clerics get are quite awful. Wizards and druids get better summons; wizards get better area-of-affect offensive spells (Dragon's breath, anyone?); druids can take over the healing duties; any melee class can, well, melee better anyway.
Not that the combat in ToB's challenging enough to warrant an ideal, maximized party, though. Most of my fights in that game go something like this---
1. Wizard casts alacrity
2. Wizard casts timestop then proceeds to strip protections from enemy mages, if any. If not, dragon's breath, Abi's horrid wilting, etc
3. Timestop runs out. Enemies that survive get mowed down by the fighters.
I took Anomen along only because of his interaction with Kelsey. |

Well not all cleric spells are useless, greater researchion(or somting) fully heals everyone in the party+any confusion, feeblemind etc. gets dispelled.
Amd we do also have storm of Venance, and thats just some of it. |

| That's my point. Dragon's Breath > Storm of Vengeance. Summon Planetar > Summon whatever the cleric gets. By the time you get into ToB, most of your characters are probably decked up in more magical gear than you can shake a stick at. I know my fighters were just about immune to everything, so things like confusion and stun are not a problem. Druids can heal. Jaheira has restoration as one of her spells, so level drain/energy drain doesn't pose a problem. A mage-summoned planetar can cast a number of clerical spells, including Raise Dead and Heal. (Two spells that are the only reason that I'd take a cleric.) |

Thats why you should use Aerie, I can see your point, but nothing beats greater restoration. It heals Everyone in the party goddamnit, its freaking good, anyway, you cant proteckt everyone against confusion and thing like that.
You heals everyone from leveldrain too, its freaking good in a battle. |
