I've got a party I started out at level 1 on HoF mode and took most of the way through IWD and HoW... I've got as far in each as I can get without losing my ability to go to play the downloadable expansion. With that, I've got all my single class guys at level 30. My multiclass ones (cleric/mage and fighter/thief) are both sitting around the low 20's.
Before I headed off to Lonelywood, I'd guess that my party was around level 18 or so, on average.
I expect that if I finished off HoW, my multiclass guys would both be around 27+, in both their classes. With the downloadable expansion, they'll both hit 30/30. Not exactly numbers, but it should give you some idea.
Now, my party started out with a slight edge, mainly that they got some equipment. But without it, it is still doable. Just have to think it out some and run away/rest often. A smart thing to do is not to make your whole party right away. A wizard won't get spells to scribe until later and as such, isn't worth giving xp to early. So don't add one until you are ready to face the orcs. On the other hand, clerics and druids get all their spells as they level. Makes them great to start out with solo to hog all the xp and gain a few levels. Of course, levelling up fighters a bit early on is useful too... better thac0, higher hp. Main pain is getting rolling, but once you get through the first few fights, HoF gets much easier.
