"Is there a limit on how high a half-elf can advance as a cleric?"
Yes, and I do believe it's 5th level. I was also confused by this with my 
cleric/fighter - but the max levels *are* in the manual.

"human sixth level cleric.  He has 65894 experience points which is 
greater than the 55,001 that is required to be a seventh level cleric."
There is also a limit to how much training you can get in POR. Phlan's 
still a bit of a backwater, you see... These extra points can be used to 
advance further in Curse of the Azure Bonds, however. Note that if you can 
advance 2 levels at once, both programs advance you one level, but cut 
your XP's to (number needed for next level -1). So you have to go kill a 
kobold or something to get that next level. :(

Note: To beat the POR scenario really only requires characters of the max 
level you're allowed.
