I wanted to pose a question about who people think is the all-star team of good. Obviously the answer is impacted by the class & skills of the main character, so feel free to share all that too!

My principal character is a fighter/mage gal I imported from BG1, but with her enhanced strength at 19 and dex at 20 (she's an elf), I have her primarily as a mean sword/archer in confrontations and a spellcaster for preparing for those confrontations (haste, stoneskin, major protection, etc.). Here is what I'm presently running with, although I'm only in the beginning of chapter three:
- Minsc...need him as 2nd strong sword and am attached to him emotionally anyway. Great warrior.
- Jaheira as 3rd sword and druid spellcaster. She presently doesn't offer much help in the sword department, but i'm saving up to give her the girdle of giant strength and then we'll see! She's a candidate to be dropped though.
- Aerie...great spellcaster as a mage and cleric...plus Minsc is attached to her and i need to keep him (don't know if he'd bail if i dropped her). definitely plan on keeping her around for her spell-casting prowess across the two disciplines.
- Yoshimo...doesn't add much beyond thieving skills, which i need while imoen is gone (don't know when she gets back...please don't spoil it for me!). Would be open to drop him if I could replace those thieving skills.
- Nalia...good high-level magic user and figure while i'm in fighter mode i need another spell-caster behind me. she's the other candidate to get the boot, but i want one dedicated mage who can reach the higher level spells eventually.

i haven't run across many of the other good NPCs yet, but would be tempted by a good paladin/warrior to replace me as a sword and then i'd shift into spell-caster mode. i doubt there's anyone who could truly replace the effectiveness of my sword cuz i'm certifiably a mean be-atch in that mode...

what other all-star good teams are people working with?
