well you got to have one "eye of the storm" character in your party. this one has highend armor class and will work as decoy. if you dont use this tactic or your party is more like blast'n'burn, using magic all the time you wont be able to play HoF and will get serious trouble in normal mode. i suggest a deep gnome monk , to be buffed up with ac-booster spells if things are getting to hard. my deep gnome monk had ac~40-42 in the end of normal mode without spellboost and in HoF i was able to bring him to ac 80 ...

using this tactic you can fill your party up with a berserker. that would be a melee char designed just to kill but has low ac. send your monk to an enemy croud wait until they gather around him and then send your berserker in and enjoy the butchery. as your monk is deep gnome with spell resistance ... later in the game your spell based chars can bombard the monk and he wont get hurt by nearly all area effect spells ( DONT use horrid whilting here ).
