if you install the tactics mod, you can roll up a fighter class archer, so in theory you can dual from archer to mage...so with the right combination of mods, you can in theory have both stoneskin and ironskin...and with experiments i've done, yep, sure you can have both...but only one icon, (i think, its been a while) stoneskin will show...

Ummm....I'm going to have to negate that entire paragraph.
(Ranger) Archers have Druids spells up to Level 3. Hence, no Ironskins.
(Fighter) Archers have no Druid spells at all. Hence, no Ironskins.
The only theoretical way to get Stoneskins and Ironskins at the same time would be to make either a Druid/Mage, or somehow a Ranger/Cleric, Dualed to Mage....both of which of course are quite impossible (bizarre & risky Shadowkeeping not taken into account).
But the Archer->Mage still takes the cake for cheese, trumping even the Kensai->Mage (Well, maybe Kensai->Mage with Throwing Impaler). Not only do they have the THAC0 of a Level 20 Fighter, combined with all the spellslots of a pureclass Mage, but they also have one sneaky little abuse, above and beyond the Kai ability:
Called Shot weakens the target's Save vs. Spells. And it
stacks.
Who needs to spend a round casting Greater Malison at a Dragon when 2 hits under Called Shot will do the same thing? Twang, twang, twang, twang, Feeblemind.

that's worthy of the cheese guide. [img]smile.gif[/img] )
