It's aight! I might be reroll to a Fighter anyway cause I prefer sword and board and having 2 slots in 2-weapons proficency makes going sword and board kinda stupid.
Also what's up with armor, I equip it and my AC goes down, isn't it supposed to be the opposite!?
It does so with every armor type.
Please note that my D&D knowledge is crappy at best.
BG2 is based on second edition. In second edition, you want high hit points and low armor class, saving throws (essentially your defense against magic), and THAC0 (your accuracy). It's bizarre, I know, but that's how it goes. The lower the armor class, the better. Note that the writers didn't actually pay enough attention to the descriptions of spells and stuff, so you'll frequently see things like "this spell gives you +4 AC," which would be bad, but they mean -4 AC, which is good.
As for sword and board, that's workable, but understand your damage will be inferior to other melee types and your most dangerous enemies... well, fact is, will have such low THAC0 that any amount of AC won't matter, or will just use spells and your armor will be literally unimportant. Sword and board will be nice for SoA, but when you reach the expansion pack levels, you'll be hurting for more damage. Don't let me dissuade you, though, it's still fine as long as you have some other party members bring the damage.
As another suggestion, almost every weapon type has a superpowerful version... except clubs. Don't invest in clubs, it's a bad idea.
