For Sexualy orienated fun (barely) Jaheira,Aerie and Viconia
Most powerful in melee
Minsc,Korgan,Keldorn,Anomen,Mazzy
Most balanced
Aerie,Mazzy,Kaldorn,Jaheira,Korgan and you
Most fun
Jan,Minsc,Jaheira, Aerie (maybe bullshtting there) and Korgan

Oh Sorry I misunderstood you
You should be what ever you want
You should have a bard
You Should have a thief
You should have a archer
You should have a mage dualed to fighter
You Should have a fighter

Mage dualled to Fighter??

Fighter dualled to Mage you mean.

  • You
  • Sorcerer
  • Paladin
  • Assassin
  • Skald
  • Fighter dualled to Cleric at level 12[/list]
    ------------------
    If not a Sorcerer casting total oblivion, then a Cavalier meting out justice. Otherwise, I think I will just be a Blade and torture my enemies with, "My Heart Will Go On".

a Kensai/Mage, a Fighter, a Cleric, a thief and a full Mage.

Not a member of any clan and is cool with that.

I recommend 2 characters who can cast mage spells and at least 1 fulltime cleric (Aerie ISN'T a fulltime cleric by the way). 2 strong fighters who can bear the brunt of attacks, and a thief (combined with mage or fighter)

Anomen (good) or Viconia (evil) are your best bets at cleric

Aerie is a good support character but I wouldnt want her as my primary cleric OR mage.

For thief.. people have different preferences here. I like Jan, as he can improve as both a thief and mage (well, illusionist to be exact). Yoshimo is a strong thief and his set snares ability is worthwhile, but Jan's spellcasting is more important IMHO. Neither Nalia nor Imoen can gain levels at thief, which makes finding/disarming traps rather tough.

If you play a mage PC, I'd recommend 2 of Minsc, Valygar, Keldorn, Mazzy or Korgan.

If you play a non-mage PC, you need at least 2 of Jan, Nalia, Imoen or Edwin)

I've never tried Bard or Thief PCs so really can't comment there. Hope this helps.

For creating a full multi-player team, I like this:

Fighter:Melee Combat
Paladin:Melee Combat
Cleric :Melee/Magical Combat
Wizard :Ranged/Magical Combat
Theif :Ranged Combat
Ranger :Ranged Combat

You obviously want to use kits of course, I think sorceror for wizard, Archer for Ranger, Swashbuckler for Theif, Your choice for Paladin and probably a beserker or kensai for Fighter...
You can mix and match to put in monks, or barbarians.. But this party formation is one of the most formidable.

For utter mayhem try:

Undead hunter (optional)
kensai/thief (dual at 9th level) (GM in katana)
fighter/cleric (dual at 9th) (GM in flail and war hammer)
fighter/mage (dual at 9th) (GM in Axe)
Fighter/mage (dual at 12th) (GM in long sword)
Sorceror (optional but fun fun fun)

It's not pleasant but it's very very funny watching a succession of enemies turning into so much sushi.

If that's not magic heavy enough for you try five fighter mages (dual at 9th or 12th you choose) and a cleric thief multiclass. You might have trouble in combat if you let your enemy get close enough (trust me when I say they won't)
