ignore these savages. take a fighter.
you get 5* profs (which admittedly are vastly underpowered comared to PnP)
you get loads of Hps
you get to use all the best armour
and you dont have to worry about what spells you know etc. altho you still have to worry about everyonone elses, but who cares. a fighter with a decent bow/sling and an excellent sword or 2 will outlast anybody else in battle - with the exception of imprisonment.(apparently the ring of free action negates this).
i usually use:
me, a fighter
minsc, ranger
jaheria, fighter druid,
imoen, mage/thief (why, oh why coudnt they have left her as b4?)
aeire mage/cleric
nalia mage technically a thief/mage but with a level 4 thief you cant do anything at all.
this way you also avoid all those annoying moments when one fireball or horrid wilting wipes out the protaginist and forces a reload, since you are a tank. while imoens MIA take other NPCs in rotation to do side quests. never go back to one - when you first encounter them there XP is set to ~ yours, but if you collect them later they havent improved since.
oh, and NEVER solo a fighter, they cant do traps or avoid magic by themselves.
at first sight monks look ideal for soloing, until you realize this. altho they get the find traps skill (which also removes traps) they can only detect traps, not remove them. if they could do that, well youve got a fighter with accelerated movement, high magic res, rapid attacks, no need for armour/swords (usually) and the ability to do an instant kill attack.
