Balanced party...that's what I'd go with. At least 2 "tank" fighter characters, at least 2 mages, a cleric or druid, and a thief. A good 6-character party would be:

*-Fighter or fighter combo
*-Paladin or Ranger (I'd go with Paladin for Carsomyr)
*-Thief (swashbuckler; doubles almost as a fighter-thief)
*-Cleric (a Fighter-Cleric combo is good here, too)
*-Mage (straight mage, or if you want specialist, do a Conjurer since all you lose is Divinity...OR if you have the ToB expansion, a Wild Mage)
*-Another Mage (or a Bard for both the bardsong and magic...you may wish to use the Skald kit for the powerful bardsongs they get).

Whichever one you create as your "first" character will be the Bhaalspawn, the others will add in once you free them from their cages in the starter dungeon.

One other thing: After you create the game in Multiplayer, save the game...then exit, go to the C:\Program Files\Black Isle\Baldurs Gate SOA\ folder, find the mpsave folder, and copy the game to the Save (single player) folder. It helps improve game play considerably to run the game in Single Player mode rather than multiplayer.

Cheers,
