I'm just brainstorming, trying to come up with some interesting dual-classed characters...

Assassin/Cleric
Shapeshifter/Fighter
Priest of Talos/Mage
Bounty Hunter/Fighter
Swashbuckler/Mage

    Wizard Slayer/Mage is the "Dexter" of Baldur's Gate. Sure, he's technically a mage himself, but he follows the code of Harry!

    swashy -> mage is somewhat popular actually, never understood why. if you want to be a mage, be a "proper" mage - aka specialist, or sorcerer. if you want to be a fighter, once again, be a proper fighter, not some dickless wannabe (yeah, I don't hold swashies in the highest regard). they can't even play at thief without backstabbing... and if one wants to combine fighting with thieving skills and magic, pick FMT, they beat little swashies to useless, bland tasting pulp any day of the week.

    Kensai -> Druid on the other hand can be pretty cool (if one can actually roll high enough to satisfy stat requirements), thanks to high level barkskin acting as armor, along with iron skins. pretty much the divine equivalent of kensai -> mages.

    edit: spelling

    RAGEMAGE
    Barbarian/Mage

    A rage mage plunges into to their primal fury; a bestial rage formed from the very essence of nature itself and the thrill of the hunt. Though she may be well-learned in mystic ways, a rage mage shies away from civilization and the order it carries. The wilderness suits the destruction usually caused, and allows the freedom required for such a chaotic soul.

    RAGESHAPER
    Barbarian/Druid

    1. Assassin/Archer. Poison-tipped arrows. Expect to hear "urgh!" a lot!
    2. Archer/Mage - aka Arcane Archer. Imbue a fireball spell on your arrow for a self-made arrow of detontation.
    3. Bounty Hunter/Shapeshifter - the hunter who's ironically infected with the disease of that he hunts.
    4. Undead Hunter/Necromancer - know thy enemy. "I practice through my summons".
    5. Berserker/Undead Hunter - he must hate undead so much.
    6. Berserker/Thief - he hates it when he's caught in the act of stealing...to the point of rage.:D
    7. Berserker/Bard - he plays his tunes with so much passion and intensity I guess.
    8. Barbarian/Bard - same as above. But uses native music.
    9. Berserker/Monk - he tries to unlock his inner self's primal rages.
    10. Wild Mage/Druid - wild magic + "the wilds" magic.
    11. Wizard Slayer/Sorcerer - why am I born like this? I'm dangerous...I must be stopped. But before that, I'll kill all others like me and cleanse this world. Tss! What a lunatic!
    12. Cleric/Inquisitor - by the power bested by the church, I say you're a heretic!
    13. Totemic Druid/Beast Master - even in death, you shall all serve me my precious animals.
    14. Jester/Monk - what an ass! He makes a fool of everyone in the monastery.
    15. Jester/Assassin - he ridicules every target he kills. No respect at all.
    16. Jester/Cleric - it's hard to take his preachings seriously.
    17. Jester/Kensai - he seems like the serious type...but he's not!
    18. Swashbuckler/Bard - Aye aye, captain! I know how to sing!
    19. Cleric/Bard - homily via rhythmic tune works like a charm.
    20. Cleric/Enchanter - his homily works like a "charm".

    All suggested are not possible obviously and even if they are, they may not be optimum builds.;p
