My first party that completed the game (IWD/HOW/TOLM) consisted of:
Fighter, Male, Human
Fighter, Female, Elf (More of an archer)
Fighter/Cleric, Male, Dwarf
Thief/Mage, Male, Half-elf
Illusionist, Female, Human
Cleric, Female, Human

Talk about a balanced party, eh?

During combat, my first two fighters and the Thief/Mage would launch arrows. Illusionist and Cleric would hurl bullets. As the baddies would close, I would move my dwarf fighter/cleric to the front for bashing while the others continued with the missle weapons. When the dwarf gets pressed, I would switch my first fighter to melee weapons and wade into the fray. The Illusionist and Thief/Mage would cast spells as required. The Cleric would step up and heal party members during combat or cast animate dead when necessary. Tactics vary dependent upon the situation of course.
