Well offhand you need more mage support, think Edwin or keep painfull as it may seem Nalia until Imoen comes back(you dont lose your stronghold if you dont keep her), or be a mage yourself I reccomend this simply because I love magic users. Always choose a kit it makes things a lot more interesting as a fighter try a kensai or as a ranger try a stalker or archer. I wouldnt worry too much about the vamps they dont attack mush and the head of the shadowthiefves when you give him the money gives you an item that makes you immune to level drain.
