I recomend a 6 person party, since I love the ability to do everything all the time

. If you want crazy, powergamy builds, check out

These are both very powergamed creations, so if you want to be more roleplaying you cant go wrong with 2 warriors, 1 thief, 1 cleric, and 2 mages. Here's a normal, not overly powergamy party.

Dwarf fighter4/barbarian
Aasimir fighter4/paladin
Tiefling rogue/ranger (any combo of levels works, though recomended 1:2 ratio with plenty of INT and DEX)
Drow mage
Drow sorcerer
Human morninglord of Lathander.

A very versatile build mentioned by Jerry above is the ranger1/paladin2/rogue1/mage Drow. This has no xp penalty beyond that of being a Drow, and allows you to have a potent spellcaster who can take all the thieving abilities, be an emergency early game tank, dual wield longswords, wield The Sword, and is immune to fear. If you want, you can substitute one of the above characters for this guy, and ditch your rogue (unless you want to get backstabbity).

1 more thing: (minor spoiler)

If you have played BG2, you may expect a certain Sword in this game to be 2 handed. It is only one handed in this game.
