My party consists of:
1. Me (Paladin)
2. Keldorn (Not a good choice, but give him gloves of dexterity (18) and his armor class increases not to mention his procifiency with the cross bow.
3. Minsc (Wreak havoc with the talking two-handed sword)
4. Jaheira (Love interest)
5. Jan (funny, and high theiving skills)
6. Aerie (Useful cleric/mage combo)
Keldorn will stay in my party until I get Imoen back since he has to go back to his family. I'll probably replace him with Imoen then. I've invested all my proficiency slots into two-weapon stlye, long sword and katana for my main character so that he can deal out great damage with both the Daystar and Celestial Fury equipped at the same time....nasty. I better get some slots into two-handed weapon or the Holy Avenger will be pretty much useless after Keldorn leaves the group.
