What alignment are you talking here? Here are some suggestions:

• Ajantis: the only paladin; his protection from evil comes in real handy in some parts. Can only put ++ in weapons.
• Khalid: Can put up to +++++ in weapons. However, comes with Jaheira (if you don't want her you have to ditch her in such a way that he won't leave). Will leave if you hit 20 rep.
• Minsc: hilarious, and high strength useful in melee. However, can only put ++ in weapons and comes with Dynaheir (see Khalid, above)
• Kivan: good archer. Can only put ++ in weapons.
• Kagain: Can put up to +++++ in weapons, and 20 constitution nothing to sneeze at. Evil, and best weapon is axe (not many strong ones).
• Shar-Teel: Can put up to +++++ in weapons. Evil, and low constitution for a fighter.
• Coran: Fighter/thief with +++ in bows (normally not allowed). Get in Chapter 4, can only put ++ in other weapons, and multiclass slows fighter progression.
• Jaheira: Fighter/druid. Can only put ++ in weapons, comes with Khalid, and limited to "natural" armor and weapons. Leaves if you hit 20 rep.
• Montaron: Fighter/thief. Can only put ++ in weapons, and evil.

I'm sure I probably missed at least one, considering that I am rattling these right off the top of my head (instead of going to look...I am lazy).
