Hey Hayashi. So, not happy with the previous party for some reason? I've got to be honest, I still don't see the attraction with the Paladin. Cleric/Ranger? Now that's a class!

I will say, and people will disagree I'm sure, but my bard's about 15/16th level (just went up I think) and I'm finally getting fed up with the fact that spells are so limited. If it wasn't for their songs, and one in particular, I would have multi-classed them long ago. Proper mage. That sort of thing.

Having said that, of course, dwarven fighter/clerics are good. Think of all of those 'Draw Upon Holy Might' spells you'll get later on!

There are many many combinations that work well, but here's my party:
1. Halfling or Elf Fighter/Thief with proficiencies in Bows, Daggers and Short Swords.
2. Human Conjurer (the best specialist mage in my opinion)
3. Cleric (any race except for Gnomes - wisdom penalty)or Druid
4. Fighter/Druid(half-elf)with proficiencies in Daggers, Spears and Slings or Dwarven Fighter/Cleric with proficiencies in Slings, Morning Stars and Hammers.
5. Fighter (any race except for Halflings due to strenght penalty)with Grandmastery in Long Swords, Proficient with Bows and Specialized with any other weapon.
6. Ranger (any possible race is good)with Skeletal Undead as racial enemy and specialization in Bows and any other weapon the previous characters didn't use.

It's interesting to consider a party with only spellcasters in it. Larry was talking about doing just that thing on the BG forum. I'll have to give it a try, as the unpleasantness you'll be able to unleash should be...colourful to say the least!

play a fighter, take him to level 9, and then dual him to a mage. he will have lots of hp, and when you get to level 10 as a mage, you will have a mage, with not only lots of hp, but a good sword, shield, and if smart, will be able to use a bow. he will also be able to go all the way to his max as a mage, so he can cast all of the cool spells too.
