So I've made ready my line up for a game with ver. 4,3 installed. Rather I've two lineups:

The first will be with a party consisting of:
Me T->C dual hammer/maces or hammer or flail
Jaheira (romance) dual scimitar/club
Keldorn two handed
Valygar dual katanas?
Nalia->Immy Shortbow
Xan ?

The second will be:
me F/M dual long swords / flail or hammer?
Ariella (custommade T->C) Slings
Jaheira (romance - what a surprise) dual scimitar/club
Valygar dual katanas?
Kivan Longbow
Nalia->Immy Shortbow

Don't know yet wich to choose... thus I would like some opinions.

I'll have the following mods:
Kelsey SoA+ToB
Allison
Kivan
Xan
Auren
Enhanced BG2
Dungeon Crawl
Tower of Deception
BanterPacks
something from EoU
and ofcourse IA

What say you?

After a good deal of consideration am I thinking of a pure mage. I never before played a pure mage - not in BG1 and not in BG2. This could be fun, anyone with a tip or two for the choice of weapon?

I'm playing a good char, and have my own swash->cleric with me. Any opinions on other partymembers?

Then, I recommend a Necromancer (you will see the reason in the game; I trust you don't want to be spoiled now).

Pure mages don't have much of a choice for their weapons. QuarterStaff is a must. You can choose three others during the entire game.

I think I should leave this one for others to reply. But I think it mostly depends on a few factors:

- Which NPCs you like more than others (= ?)
- Whether you want NPCs with good personal upgradable items (Valygar comes to mind)
- Whether you want to consider creating another custom multi-player NPC (If yes, a half orc Berserker is magnificent)
- Whether you want an Auramaster in your party (Cernd is there to pick)
- Whether you want Imoen in your party (if not, creating a custom sorcerer can also be a good idea)
- whether you want a powerful dispeller (Keldorn comes to mind as an excellent choice -- though he may be somewhat weak against high level clerics who will surely try to turn him.)
