My previous party had a cleric/mage, and I was told I need a cleric devoted to priesthood. The demarch suits the party best I guess. And I'm choosing mostly drow because I prefer doing things differently. Practically every single one of my other parties was good-aligned and contained no drow. I like to switch around sometimes, it was pure coincidental that I had 3 drow.

Originally posted by Nightowl2: What I'm curious about is your remark that you've had other parties that weren't successful. What happened with them? How far did you get? Why did you decide to abandon them?

I've had 1-person, 2-person, 4-person, and 5-person parties that all did not make it past chapter 1. They were unbalanced I guess. I go more for the RP value of the game rather than the balance. A bad habit from BG. The farthest I've made is to the goblin fortress caves. I couldn't make it any farther because I was vastly outnumbered (see Badguy, Goodguy ratio 400:4). My 1-person was a ranger, that was the first, so I can't really remember why I quit there. My 2nd was a ranger and barb, I quit because I'm not that skilled with barbs and I couldn't kill all the malarites at the dam map. Another was a 4-person, and I couldn't kill all the worg riders at the fortress. My last was another 4, a ranger/sorceress, cleric/mage, rogue, fighter that couldn't make it any farther in the caves, too many goblin elite/shaman/worg rider/chieftan/etc.
