couple of things

1. enjoy!

2. the characters you list have different alignments and may fight each other so you may lose one or more of them - painful if you've invested time in building them up - it can be fun to watch though

3. you don't absolutely need a thief but there are plenty of places to use one and you do get XP for traps and locks

4. your spellcasters have lots of spell protections to prevent interruption and clerics can wear armour . . . you'll be glad of spell interruptions against enemy mages though

5. you can't go wrong for a first run with the characters you get out of the opening dungeon (minsc, jahiera, imoen, yoshimo, you as something you fancy probably with a bit of mage in there) - they've got plenty of power and lots of banter (possibly the best developed 'characters')

6. a small party for XP gains would get my vote too but this is a preference thing - i like working big parties but usually not for very long before i restart

7. have a look at six of spades guide (linked in the forum FAQ) and then stay away from here until you've played the game for you will get spoiled - we're pretty good at limiting the damage but it's unavoidable and a shame

8. i said enjoy yes?
