right now i have me, a ranger, minsc, jaheira, yoshimo, aeirie, and anomen. im in the sewrs so right now keldorn is availible, so i haer'dalis, and jan is out in the slums, spoilers welcome, im confused pros and cons???????

I never had much of a use for Jaheira (other than a few sidequests)
when Anomen was in the party. He's a way better fighter than her.
I haven't played with Jan yet, but being a dual class illusionist/
thief gives the party a thief and a back-up mage. With the right
equipment, Keldorn is definately a force to be reckoned with.
Valygar is one of my favorites. Dual wielding katana's.

I'd say you have a good, well balanced party there. A bit of everything is what you've got and is what is needed to complete the game.

Kick Jaheira
Pick Nalia (you need a mage)
Kick Yoshimo
Pick Jan (better thief and back-up spell caster)

Aerie's romance is great. I keep minsc because he's very funny. But you're already a ranger and you may want another class fighter instead of ranger? Paladin; Keldorn. Keldorn is cool if you want to use Carsoymr +10. its only usable by paladins


ranger, minsc, jaheira, yoshimo, aeirie, and anomen

You have a good party, close to what I had. If you keep yoshimo SPoiler

you can replace him with Imoen, who is a okay thief, because he will betray you which leads into a subquest. You want to go early so Imoen doesn't start too far behind in xps. This gives your party a good balance. Two tanks, a mage, a cleric, and jaheria and Aerie as back up for Anomen and Imoen.
