If you want to play with more than one character of your own devising, do as follows:
1. Make sure your cache size is 300 or greater (this can be done in the BGconfig program)
2. Start BG2 and select Multi-Player.
3. Choose "Connect" and then select "Serial" for your protocol. (I think you can also pick TCP/IP for a private session).
4. Fill in the nessecary information about your computer
5. Select "Create Game", fill in a session and a player name and press "New Game"

You will now be able to create your own characters. To do this, click on a "Create Character" button. Do this for several characters, but remember to leave one or two slots open for NPC's. Also make sure that the top left slot is filled in.

6. Press all the v's next to the characters you created to lock them.
7. Press the "Done" button.

You'll now be able to play. As soon as you have saved, you can move the save from the MPsave folder in the BG2 directory to the Save folder, so you can play the game in single player mode. You can also reduce the cache size to under 300 if you want.

Hope this helps!
