OK, here goes. I don't know the exact levels or stats, but I can give you pretty good idea. OK, I have a paladin wielding a +4 long sword with low saving throws, a ranger wielding a +4 scimitar with decent saving throws, a neutral cleric wielding a +3 Morning Star with bad saving throws and THAC0, A Dwarven fighter wielding a +5 Axe with 19 strength, who by the way, is completely immune or anything that has a saving throw (at least -4 on every category), a thief wielding a +3 short bow and a +4 short sword with 100+ in all her skills and pretty bad saving throws, and a transmuter with a +1 quarter staff with horrible saving throws, but he has a 20 Intelligence so he's an awesome spell caster, and he also has many items that provie extra spells. I'm not completely sure if my cleric has Magic Resistance (can't remember if it is restricted to my aignment), but my strategy has always to load my cleric up with all the healing spells possible because I have 3-4 tanks at any one time. And ever since I started playing Baldur's gate, I have never used buff style spells. My mages have always been transmuters (unable to scribe Abjuration spells). Well, i have a very few times used the Draw Upoin Holy Might my Paladin got after a dream in BG. So I Don't have to worry about dispel. Although there is a combat version of dispel that only works against enemies, that may only be in BG2. If these party details aren't enough, I'll fire up the save file later (haven't been playing IWD much lately... Just started Planescape, also in Durlag's Tower in BG, and I also just started BG2 over again, as well as palying a different party in IWD, this time beating the Reverend Brother before going with Hjollder). Well, I could keep reloading, but theres too many people with bad saving throws in my party, so it would take way too long. And apparently there is a slight bug with the Rings of Free Action ( I have 4 people wearing them). I can still be stunned, ith affects movement, although sleep is not protected from. Let me know if you've got more answers or need more info.
