what party?

Paper bags... Anywho, if you want romance, head to the copper coronet.

I decided to start another game, me as a halfelf cleric/mage. I can say that it is very nice to be able to cast spells from both classes at once. However i dont know if it wise to follow this course with minsc, korgan as fighters, jaheira, yoshimo and possibly some other mage of sorts? I assume that it is good to have many spellcasting characters in the party.
What do you think?
And why wasnt i allowed to multiclass an elf to cleric/mage exactly like aerie?

Nobody's sure how Aerie got an illegal class. Similarly, how did Anomen get to be a dual classed Fighter-Cleric with such a rotten Wisdom score? [img]smile.gif[/img]

On your party, I'd keep Imoen for the first level of the initial dungeon at least, as there are quite a few traps and locked chests there where you can farm some easy XPs by disarming the traps and picking open the locks.

Your party looks workable enough and well balanced. My only mild concern is that again you're mixing good aligned (Minsc) with evil aligned (Korgan) which may or may not lead to problems. (n.b. I'm not saying necessarily that it will lead to problems, just that it might).

Whether you choose to (a.) drop either Minsc or Korgan due to alignment inconsitencies and replace them with an NPC that has an alignment that will not clash with any other NPC in the party, and (b.) fill that final slot with a mage, and if so, who, I guess are your key questions.

It's not too spoilerish for you now given your first game's progress to note that one of your principal missions is to rescue Imoen, and 'yes' she can rejoin your party.

Your answer might be to press ahead with your PC, Minsc, Korgan, Jaheira and Yoshimo for the time being and be a bit light on magic power, and include Imoen when you rescue her. If you do add her in, you will note that she will rejoin at a higher level.

Well, i didnt leave imoen in the first dungeon, she left my party when she was taken by the cowled wizards. I have jaheira for spells/fightning but she is a little bit useless right now with korgan and minsc as tanks and iam casting enchanments with jaheiea, yoshimo is harrasing mages with stabbing and arrows. Short said iam enjoying it. And so you know i have ease of use mod installed(infined stacking was a rescue in icwd2 and i cant imagine it any of these games without it and no fithning and leaving the party). Iam not a fan of notonlykillthedragonbutholdthepartytogether as well. Also i just made the slave ring quest in copper coronet(capt hagean etc).
Exactly what i like about these games. Walk into something unprepared and you are meat, cast what is needed and the battle is over in 4turns(capt hagean). thanks anyway for your advices
