The second. It's quite simple, actually:
Have character X join the party (say he's joining with 160,000 XP). Open ShadowKeeper, change X's class to Y, set X's level to 0 (this is important), his HP to 1 and remove all X's proficiencies but the set amount he should have (6 for fighters, 4 for non fighters, or something along these lines). Save. Open BG2.

Once you load the game, you'll instantly see a "level up" message - as your level is 0, but with 160,000 XP, it should be higher!

If you are planning on changing their stats, does it affect anything else in the game that you know of? This opens up a whole new realm...
It really is. It allows you to play with any possible party composition, without giving up party interactions. Note that I especially picked a banter-heavy party: All the NPCs are talkative, Sola & Imoen have lovely dialogues, I get to see the Jaheira Flirt Pack, Kelsey romances Imoen, Sola & Jaheira are fighting over the PC, etc, etc... In short - big fun!
