a monk is nice and different. you will save on items as well, since monks dont use armour of any description. in an evil group -

jaheria, is neutral so will work. nalia and aerie are out. imoen and yohsi will work. minsc - i somehow doubt he will not attack you. edwin, obviously. mazzy, nope. anomen, nope. keldorn, nope. korgan - a good evil fighter for you. S - no thats a spoiler and not available till much later. haer'de'leis - nope. cernd - a druid and so neutral. will work. but crap. so wont. viconia - shes a drow, and not a good one like drizzt. take her.

the problem with an evil party isnot so much choosing who to take, but praying there enough of them. to keep neutrals keep you rep above 4. to keep evils, keep it below 18. use slayer when you get it, kill some innocents until then. be careful what quests you take. the problem is that rep seems to want to rise unless you do evil things the whole time. do not even think about donating at temples.
