K, here's my take on the 4 character party (since that's exactly what I'm doing right now!)
I have my:
1. Monk/tank from the single player game, 22nd level (yep, XP Cap remover firmly in place) with a ring of Gaxx firmly on each finger (honestly pummeled for and won each time!), amulet of magic resistance, gauntlets of dexterity, a girdle of Frost Giant Strength and cloak of non detection. She weighs in at AC -8, 114 HP, adjusted strength of 21 and dex of 18 with the girdle and gauntlets, and a whopping 91% magic resistance. Since she can't be hit by non magical weapons and there are no lower (and most UPPER for that matter) spells that can touch her, she's the perfect tank. Add into that 6 improved hastes per day with the two Gaxx rings, plus the regeneration of both rings and that durned ioun stone she has, she can attack a whopping 4 times per round at 25 HP per hit, and really making use of the quivering palm when surrounded by baddies and regenerate what damage she DOES take!
2. Specialized mage for maximum spellcasting ouple of spellcasting rings and that amulet that reduces casting speed and Staff of the Magi, fill in the rest, it's been talked to death on the board about the positives of the mage, 'nuff said.
3. Cleric/Mage with Crom Fayer and flail of the ages or bad assed shield (playing with both, haven't decided which I like better yet.
4. Fighter/Mage/Theif - slow in advancement, but in-FREAKING-sanely useful!!! By the way, There's another string on the board somewhere about scrolling down on the theif distribution skills? Oy did I feel foolish after I got home and scrolled down... *rolls eyes* I thought it seemed like a bit of a pipe dream that I could pump up all his theiving skills so much and that I couldn't find the rest, but I said "Hey, this must be one of the changes from BG1 to BG2!"
Anyway, it's a truly bad assed party and I'm proud of them!!
