NPC's in ToB

[Seid]

What would be your choice of NPC's in ToB. My party is:

Me (Invoker lvl.19)
Sarevok (Fighter lvl.21)
Minsk (Ranger lvl.18)
Viconia (Cleric lvl.22)
Anomen (Fighter/Cleric lvl.9/21)
Jan (Thief/Illusionist lvl.16/15)

Also do you think I should change my party?

it does depend heavily on your choice for protaganist. and whether or not you have items from SOA. ie; celestial fury still bites hard.i think having played it now that a theif class would be an ideal pc. however,

sarevok : wicked wicked fighter. go halberds, soon as you can.

aerie or

anomen : you just cant beat a good cleric turning undead at high level. Vic is good, but turn stinks.

minsc : just wails away and has good dialogue. especially if aerie is his witch. some good items to dual weild.

Valygar : is proficient in spear. **or

Keldorn : holy avenger, lots of dispel magic and true sight, and three fighters are a good front line.

Imoen : back up mage with fair theif skill, and missle support. jansen has his own gear, which frankly, sucks cause you dont know whether to change it or not, i havent tried him, cause i dont think his equpiment will keep up, but his traps may be a hidden bonus, if you are willing to stash his old stuff.

hope this helps. i really think you should try at least three fighter types or subclasses, with a mage pc. keldorn would be a great addition. you dont mention party alignment, so i assume with the wide spread you hover around rep of 10-15 with a slayer change every so often just to keep it down? thats what i do, to stop edwin bitchin. cheers.

Looks good, play it dude

For that group, I'd ditch Vicky and pick up Jaheira. Better fighter, and can backup heal. Druids get some cool abilities in ToB; plus, as a multi-class, she gets special abilities from both fighter and druid tables. Give her Staff of the Ram, and she rocks.

Also keep in mind that both Planetars and Devas can heal as well as attack (Planetars can cast Heal, Devas - Cure Critical Wounds), so you may want to ditch a second healer altogether and pick up a pure fighter, like Mazzy or Korgan.

My first time through I played with:

PC (Monk)
Sarevok
Korgan
Edwin
Viconia
Imoen

This time I'm gonna play through with:

PC (Fighter/Mage)
Sarevok
Aerie
Jaheira
Viconia
Nalia

Should be pretty cool.

Does viconia have turn undead or turn paladin?

Viconia has Turn Paladin.

I lost Jahiera to Imprisonment and don't remember where. My Viconia is lvl. 24 now and knows 3 abilities. Sarevok has Gram the sword of grief +5. He has Grand mastery with 2-handed swords. I gave the staff of ram to my protagonist. When I imported my game I had only 5 characters. Imoen dissapeared from my group. Why is that?

Hmm. Viconia only has Turn Paladin? Well I dunno, but when I turn undead with her, frequently she 'takes over' the undead and makes them controllable by me. Thats cool, isnt it?

[jabidas]

Dont go for a mage, get a Sorcerer, at level 20 they can cast 6 level 9 spells. Can you say Time stop, improved acuity and Dragons breath.

[Gustave]

I've always been tempted to play a sorceror..perhaps next time through after beating the game with my paladin.
