Sonic,

You might want to consider using multi-class characters; especially if you are playing the entire IWD/HOW/TOLM series, and even MORE so if you are playing in Heart of Fury mode. It is entirely possible to build a multi-class Elven Fighter-Mage-Thief that reaches 30/30/30 at the end of the game! Two class multi-class characters such as a Ranger/Cleric or Fighter/Druid are also doable. My final party in IWD HOF mode, running through all three parts was:

Human Paladin
Dwarven Fighter
Elven Fighter/Mage/Thief
Ranger/Cleric*
Fighter/Druid*
Elven Fighter/Mage

*Don't remember the races on those two

I also swapped in a bard at one point in place of the Elven Fighter/Mage.

Go with characters that you like playing and don't fret the details TOO much. Having a reasonably well balanced party IS essential and when playing HOF mode that implies a SIGNIFICANT amount of Summoning and Area effect spell capability!
