Going weak on tanks? Definitely grab all the offensive-minded spellcasters you can, then. As it's your first time through HoW, take a druid and a bard to check out their new capabilities.

Tip for HoW - HoW adds a feature to thieves called 'evasion'. Evasion allows thieves to avoid damage from certain area-effect spells (fireball-types) if they make a saving throw. A multiclass fighter/thief isn't such a bad tank/archer, especially if it is a gnome (capable of 18 Str, Helm of Trusted Defender, and can use longbows). Alternately, you can just cast Resist Fire/Cold and Protection from Fire on your tank and fireball away - you will gain HP if your fire resistance is over 100%.
