    Wizard Slayer, Dual weilding Katanas and Long Swords.
    After I found out he could not use potions and Jaheira used up her healing potions he died in Irenicus' dungeon.

    Kensai/Mage made it through the game.
    Now I'll try a HalfOrc Wizard Slayer using Halberds.

    A paladin simple, equipped with longsword and shield. I remember finding plenty of pretty good weapons, but no real good longsword.

    first time I found BlackRazor... was with Bert... I thought a +4 shortsword was better than that +3 Long Sword that steals 2 levels regens you 20 hp and increases your strength by 3 by a % chance everyhit..., NOT to mention it also hastes you by that same % :mad:

    Half-elf Ranger. I was with Minsc, Jaheira, Keldorn, Aerie and Nalia. It was the first time ever playing a D&D type game and I'm surprised I got through.

    A lawful good dwarven kensai goofing around with axes.
    Azureedge actually packs quite a whallop!
    Cant remember the NPC's though, but i'm sure i brought Minsc! Love that guy! And i can faintly remember that Jan Jansen was in the team. Can't remember the rest though..

    A straight human fighter with full points in axes and eventualy sword and shield. Brought through BGI so he was pumped. :tie:

    Sigh. Computer crashed just before I could take on the final big bad in ToB. Think I could have won. :heh:

    An undead hunter!

    Kinda heard that there are plenty of those guys in the game and didnt think twice.

    The undead hunter was great against the foes of the living but, as it wore on, its only the Carsomyr or bust. And the rest is history...

    Male dwarven beserker with axes. I initially had Minsc, Jaheira, Keldorn, Nalia and Yoshimo, but I replaced Jaheira with Anomen and obviously I got duped and lost Yoshi, so he was replaced with Imoen.

    Solo Elven Chaotic Good Sorceress until I met Haer'Dalis, and very slowly I accumulated:

    Keldorn
    Aerie
    Jaheira
    Imoen

    This party BARELY killed Irenicus, and I evenutally gave up on the expansion. Too much magic, not enough muscle.

    At my first shot at the game, I took a cleric of Lathander. Why? Because clerics have no disadvantages, and at the time I thought that was a good thing. He never did get through the game... stopped at chapter 2 I think. I think his teammates were Minsc, Yoshimo, Jaheira, Aerie and Keldorn.

    My first successful time through, I created all 6 party members, led by an Undead Hunter. IIRC there was also a barbarian, a monk, a swashbuckler, a cleric, a mage, and a pure ranger. Why create all six? Because that's how the old Gold Box D&D games were played - the party expands up to eight (2 NPC's max). I kicked out the monk when Imoen came back, when I realized she seems somewhat important to the plot. ;)

    i dont remember what alignment and stats ect.... of my first character, but i do remember reading most of the kit descriptions before deciding on a barbarian because he sounded soo powerful, then i didnt like how he couldnt wear good armor, so i chose a berserker, got boring, and finally i chose an interesting first pick, the sneak,stealthy and very kool MONK!

    Paladin lvl 8 (I think), changed to Inquisitor for BG2. I took Minsc, Jaheira, Aerie, Mazzy, and Nalia > Imoen. I didn't know about THAT sword so I specialized in longswords, axes and warhammers so I could use a shield. Used Blade of Roses, Daystar, Azuredge and the warhammer(s) with electrical damage. Stuck with that mostly even after finding Carsomyr. Lilarcor for Minsc, of course. Also the Elven Court bow and the Mace of Disruption. Blackblood, Belm, and the Sling of Seeking for Jaheira. Aerie got the Mauler's Arm and a sling (can't remember which). Mazzy: her short sword and others, Tansheron's bow/ Gesen bow when I got it, and the flail of ages. Nalia/Imoen: Tuigan Bow +1/Tansheron's bow, various short swords and staffs, eventually Staff of the Magi.

    I can't believe I remember this stuff.

    Elven Fighter/Mage with Imoen, Jaheira, Viconia, Korgan and Edwin along for the ride. I was pretty much feeling my way through BG2 for the first time, so I didn't know much about it or AD&D etc. But I managed to kick Irenicus' ass (after about 30 reloads) when I suddenly realized that Abi Dalzim's Horrid Wilting was actually a party friendly spell! (D-oh!!)

    Elven CN Fighter wearing Crimson Chain by the end and dual weilding Adjatha The Drinker and Dragon Slayer. My party consisted of Minsc, Jaheira, Aerie, Cernd and Yoshi/Imoen.

    By the end of the game he was a kick ass fighter, but he couldn't hold his own against the NG Barbarian I used later or the Avenger/Great Druid I'm using now.
