so, the party may look like this...
PC (Ranger/Cleric)
Mazzy
Valygar
Aerie
Jan
Imoen

I thnk this will be a fun party to play. Not just the characters themselves, but various themes -- no two handed weapons (except for maybe occasionally taking advantage of the power of SotM), (could make it) an all dual-wielding party, the best fighter duo in the game (ehh...just me [img]tongue.gif[/img] ), not overpowered in SoA but will be very scary by ToB, nice balance of most class characteristics in the game (fighter, wizard, priest and thief)...the tanking department may seem to be weak, but the beauty of the game is to find a way to beat the game with various party tactics.

also, it may seem "Arcane heavy" to you, but to an arcane addict like me, it's not. In all my recent games, I had three wizard spell casting members in the parties. Aerie and Jan are multi-classed and so they don't really provide THAT heavy of arcane firepower. Try something like Sorcerer PC + Imoen + Edwin, you'll know what an Arcane heavy party would look like [img]tongue.gif[/img] anyway, I think Imoen + Aerie + Jan is great.
