Maxrebo2: Here is my build plan for Fighter\Mage Multiclass and other class ideas how is this plan or should I choose one of my other ideas
Class:Fighter/Mage
Race:Half Elf
Gender:Male
Alignment:Good
Stats
Strength 18/74 (19)
Dexterity 18 (19)
Constitution 18 (19)
Intelligence 18 (19)
Wisdom 10 (13)
Charisma 10 (11)
Starting Proficiencies
Flail:++
Two Weapon Style:++
Katana:+
There's no difference between 18/51 and 18/74 strength so either go for 18/76+ or be content with 18/51+.
I recommend dumping wisdom and raising charisma instead. In you'll get cheaper shop prices and if you have 18+ cha (the friends spell can be used) you'll get better quest rewards.
Lore isn't needed since other party members will be able to identify stuff and there's also the identify spell (you can be greedy and the scroll in the prologue for learning the spell yourself instead of doing the quest).
Flail/Morningstar is a good melee weapon proficiency choice, those will get you through the game alone.
Be aware that dualwielding is a melee only style, you won't have the flexibility to switch to bow or sling with just one click (but as mage you'll have spells).
A gnome fighter/illusionist would be more powerful and fun because of the extra spells per day but not everyone likes to play a short race.

From what I read if ever want to dual class I should wait play a single class in BG 1 EE then change in BG 2 EE,or just stick with single class as a human.
I am definitely going to be carrying my character onto BG 2.
What would you recommenced in terms of weapon styles and proficiency's.
Here is my planned party and party members I am interest in for BG 1

For the PC I'd consider pure class Priest of Lathander or Helm. (Pure class since it's more fun than a jack of all trades.) Your planned party doesn't have access to cleric spells. Clerics can equip heavy armor and work well on the front line. Their special ability will grant them one extra attack per round temporarily.
Dualclassing isn't worth it (too many compromises) but if you want to focus more on fighting and access to druid spells multiclass ranger/cleric works too.
