A good party is:

Paladin Human
Ranger Human
Fighter Dwarf
Cleric Human
Mage Elf
Thief Elf

That's the party I beat the game with.

I beat the game with a
Fighter-Human
Paladin-Human
Cleric-Female Human
Duid-Female Elf
Thief-Human
Mage-HUman.
I think i needed more mage power, and i suggest using a druid over a cleric, cuz they get so many cool spells. I just did both for the offense, who was my druid, and healing/defense, who was my cleric.

Welcome, )V(ajin l3uu. How's the party coming along. I've only just completed IWD a week-and-a-half ago with:

Two Fighters - Dwarven (naturally)
Cleric/Illusionist - Gnome
Fighter/Druid - Hlaf-Elf
Fighter/Thief - Half-Elf (though Dwarves are better)
Bard - Half-Elf (Human is a better choice for dual-classing later)

They worked for me, but that covers all six slots. You might want to try that number now, until you're comfortable with the game, then reduce it down to five or even four. Xp isn't so diluted that way.

Here's what I got going: (I'm just starting though and have no idea how it will work out.)

Male Human Paladin (The Man. 'though he talks too much.)
Male Half-Elf Ranger (Ugly, Stupid and Deadly.)
Female Human Bard (Hell Hath No Fury...)
Female Elf Fighter/Mage (Attempt to recreate my (PRE-DRIZZT!!!) Drow.)
Male Elf Fighter/Thief (Played like an Assassin...?)
Male Gnome Cleric/Illusionist (He's not a Dwarf...but, I hope he's "small" enough...?)

Cheers...

Just srarted a game with a party that consists of:

Male-Human-fighter(goon)
Male-Dwarf-fighter(mega goon)
female-half elf-ranger(good scrapper/great archer)
male-halfling-cleric(just like the picture,not that great,but I'm going to stick it out)
female-human-thief(archer/thief,pretty good actually)
male -human-mage(real good,happy with him)

This party isn't to exotic but I think it will get the job done.
Probably should have changed the human fighter to a paladin, and not had a halfling cleric, but we will see.Could use alittle more spellcasting ability as well.

Word of advice ,when all else fails, run like hell!

I've played through the game a couple times and find my current gang is the most entertaining; challenging but not frustrating:

Ranger - Elf, Lawful Good
Fighter/Mage -Elf, True Neutral
Cleric - Dwarf, Chaotic Good
Fighter/Thief - Halfling, Neutral Good
Bard - Human, Neutral Good

I like having 5 characters; less resource management and quicker leveling.

I completed IWD/HoW/ToLM with a party that looked like this:

1 Human Male Paladin
1 Dwarf Male Fighter (mainly armed with axes)
1 Elven Female Fighter (armed with long bow and longswords)
1 Human Male cleric
1 Halfling male thief/mage (my secondary mage)
1 Human Female Mage (my primary mage)

Having 2 (or 1.5 depending on your outlook) mages really made things much easier. The multiclassed theif was more than enough of a theif for the way in which I use theives, i.e. mostly for finding/disarming traps and opening locks. Besides, in IWD mages can summon great elementals and having 2 mages means nealy twice as many spells available for monster summoning.
