Actually, my favorite was my "knight" party:
- PC Cavalier
- Keldorn
- Anomen
- Mazzy (as close to a paladin a halfling can get)
- Nalia (a noble mage)
- Imoen (damsel in distress)
For some reason, "theme-based" parties stand out for me, and I tend to enjoy them more.
I am thinking of taking a chaotic party through the entire saga (either a CN Jester or CN ToB mage class, then pretty much randomly adding people in the party as they are encountered).
