    [​IMG] Its been done a million times before. But its nice to see how people change their minds about this. Post a reason along with the classes you choose if ya can :)

    Anything goes (Including SK'd parties)

    Anyways mine is:

    Human
    Wild Mage
    9/18/16/18/9/17

    I make this guy the prot because I love the mage stronghold. My fave. Wild Surges add loadsa fun to the game.

    Uses darts and daggers early on

    Elf
    Kensai/Thief mc
    16/19/17/9/9/9

    Main backstabber. Specialises in stealth, detect illusions and trap setting. Also my undead killer using Azuredge at range.

    Uses katanas and axes (quarter staves late on in ToB)

    Dwarf
    Beserker/Druid mc
    18xx/16/18/10/16/15

    My healer. Strange to be a dwarven druid but i like it :) Good fighter too, I found.

    Uses dual weilding scimitars.

    Elf
    Archer
    14/19/17/10/13/(cha low as pos)

    One of two primary ranged combatants.

    Uses longbows and flails

    Halfling
    WizzieSlayer/Thief mc
    10/19/18/10/10/10

    Second ranged combatant and main wizard killer. Specialises in pickpockets, locks and traps.

    Uses with shortbows, short swords and maces.

    Half Elf
    Jester
    12/14/16/18/6/15

    Backup mage, then sings (I use the Rogue rebalancing -for bards only- that improves his song).

    Thought about putting in a sorcerer, but to be honest i'ma little bored of them :) i play a chaotic neutral to chaotic good party usually, and i think these chars fit it well. Guess the alignment of the Wild Mage :D

    I might take this through tutu once i've completed it with the NPC party for the first time.

    So post yours :)

    Isn't the WS/TH a little redundant? You already have a Kensai/Th, and with the cloak of non-detection, he should serve as just as good for taking out spell casters. I would normally recommend some type of paladin (all the kits are pretty good actually) but that would violate your rule for a CN, CG party.

    For me, Sorcerer
    MC R/C
    MC Kensai/Thief (that was a really good pick by the way)
    Undead Hunter
    Blade
    Beserker

    Not the power-gamers choice, but lots of fun. I like parties with lots of beef for the front line.

    As an aside, I know R/C get druid spells, but they don't get to pick druid HLAs, do they?

    No, they get ranger and cleric HLAs unfortunatly.

    The WS/T isnt reduntant since I use tactics and improved battles so mages have that cheesey autobuff. besides i like the idea of a ranged mage killer instead of the backstab.

    I forgot to mention, the WS/T will specialise in pickpockets, locks and traps. And hes not takin Use Any Item until the thief is level 32 (my new rule :D )


    Kensai/Thief is lot of fun to play, but i'm most looking forward to the Beserker/Druid for some reason. Tested him out as a lvl 40/40 and he rocked.

    I've always had an aversion to the undead Hunter as i would usually equip an inquisitor with the Amulet of Power... but apart from that the party looks good :)

    Male Human Dualed Kensai/Mage - Pro.
    Female Elven Figther/Thief
    Male Elven Ranger Stalker
    Female Human Sorcerress
    Male Gnome - Cleric/Mage
    Female Human - Paladin - No kit

    With the Paladin having healing ability as does the C/M no need to add a dual class Warrior/Priest to my group. The only thing I can think of is that this is way over power gaming in my opinoin. Most of the time I will leave out the Ranger because I will pick up one NPC at a time to complete their quest. And I normally would take Imoen after Yo. betrays me.

    @Silver knight

    Gnome Cleric/Mage sounds pretty good and stalkers rock so if I were you i'd drop something else :)

    Malovae would that be my Kensai/Mage? I am found of that combo because that was the first character combo I went through with on BG2.

    I go for the classics myself:

    Human Male Paladin [cavalier] - Two handed swords, axes (throwing), and something blunt for undead
    18/00, 18, 18, 3+, 16+, 18

    Elf Female Fighter - bows and swords all the way, baby (with single weapon style for AC and criticals)
    18/9x, 19, 17, 10+, 10+, 10+

    Dwarf Male Fighter/Cleric - shield and one-handed cleric weapons, including a sling for ranged
    18/9x, 17, 19, 10+, 18, 10+

    Halfling Female Thief - short swords, daggers, and short bows
    17, 19, 16, 10+, 10+, 10

    Half-elf Male Bard - odd weapons like halberds and crossbows
    18, 18, 16, 18, 10+, 16

    Human Female Conjuror - staves, darts, and daggers
    10+, 18, 16, 18, 16+, 18 (CHA high as possible since she's the romantic interest of the party leader :love: )

    Though I've thought of toying with the last two (in order to get one of each race) like this:

    Half-elf Female Bard
    18, 18, 16, 18, 10+, 18 (romantic interest)

    Gnome Male Illusionist
    18
    , 18, 16, 19, 17, 10+

    Quite a few including bards. Considering they were held in little regard quite a few months ago. Wonder who made em popular :roll: I love them as support characters but i couldnt eat a whole one.

    Just made the party, and sk'd it. decided to go skald instead of jester since i have a pickpocketer already and i think ythe attack bonuses will be handier (He has 0 lore due to his low wisdom haha). They are currently parked inside Candlekeep. i'll start playing with them when I complete my first run... although i'm tempted to start now :D

    How do you create a multi-class Kensai/Thief? Or do you mean dual-class?

    I am thinking about this..

    Male Elven Ranger - Stalker

    Str 18+
    Dex 19
    Con 17
    Int 10
    Wis 14+
    Cha 10+

    Female Elven F/M/T
    Str 18+
    Dex 19
    Con 17
    Int 18
    Wis 10
    Cha 10

    1/2 Elf or Gnome C/M

    Str 10
    Dex 18
    Con 16
    Int 18 or 19
    Wis 18 or 17
    Cha 18

    You will only need these three character to cover a majority of character types (Tank, Archers, Magic users, etc) need to play BG2. In this group I might include a Monk just for kicks.

    @Barmy - I think the Kensai/Thief was SK'ed. As to Fel's conjurer and pally being in love; it's just how he wants to play them. I come up with all sorts of background stories for my MP PCs.

    Right on, kuemper! :thumb: I always pair up at least two of my characters. It makes for some interesting roleplaying, especially when someone tries to hit on one of them! :lol:

    Oh right, thanks.

    Will MC'd Kensai/Thiefs and Berserker/Druids only be able to put one star of proficiency slot?... That make sense?

    If so, I can't see how they will be very clever!!

    No, they'd act like a regular Fighter/Thief with the kit restrictions (+ and -) of a Kensai.
