ive been on an npc creation spree so i have a wider range to choose from. that aside, this is my favorite bg2 party:
1. elven fighter/thief (katana, long bow): scout, backstabber, trap finder
2. dwarven fighter/cleric (flail, sling)
3. human inquisitor (axe, hammer, dual wield, xbow)
4. human archer (long bow, spear)
5. imoen
6. this space reserved for temp npc's to do their quests
most of the cleric spells i ever use are not during-combat types, mostly buffs and protections. the inquisitor with 2 elemental damage causing weapons (stonefire and that axe from the keep) + her dispel magic makes her one helluva mage slayer. the archer can take down most skins in less than 2 rounds. meanwhile imoen is clearing the fodder or pelting tough melee enemies.
hopefully before xmas i'll have my npc's and their quests done. anyone interested in using them?
