Hi, does anyone know if it's possible/viable to solo BG1EE as a multi-class Fighter/cleric?

Thanks

    Very possible. Especially if you're doing core difficulty, you can solo pretty much any of the BG games with pretty much any class. But a Fighter/Cleric in BG1 will be one of the easier solos because:
    (A) low-level Cleric spells, (Command, Sanctuary, Hold Person, Silence 15'), are amazing,
    (B) the F/C multiclass can be a dwarf, which means huge saving throw bonuses
    (C) You get quick access to HP, heavy armor, shields, and helmets, which makes you very survivable in BG1.

    You're probably going to want to avoid Durlag's Tower because you don't have a thief to disarm the traps. And you definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely do not want to go to the werewolf island, because there's a high probability you'll be stuck there forever since you can't wield bladed weapons. But for the main questline of BG1 itself, yeah, it's going to be about as easy as a solo can be.

    And 19CON, which means natural regeneration as early as FAI.

    You could try spamming Glyphs of Warding and leading Karoug into those - I can't remember what his resistance is. The other werewolves can certainly all be killed pretty easily with the Wand of the Heavens.
    Edit: used the console to spawn Karoug and check - he has 50% electricity resistance, a save vs spell of 5 and 66 HPs. If you doom him before leading him into the glyphs he would get damaged 30% of the time for about 9 per glyph - so putting down, say, 40 glyphs would almost certainly kill him.
