Zalan, Male Monk of the Dark Brotherhood.

Solaran, Male Drow Fighter (level 2)/Ranger (level 1, I want those dual-wielding capablities. He's now real powerful dual-wielding two bastard swords.)

bruenor male shield dwarf fighter (axe n shield)
wulfgar male human fighter (hammer,melee/thrown)
regis male stongheart halfling thief (dagger)
cadderly male human ohgaman cleric (staff/xbow)

thats it

 

While there already is a similar thread, I think this one is a tad different, seeing how the other was done without people actually having the game.

I ended up with this party:

- Aasimar Female Dreadmistress of Bane/Sorceress
- Aasimar Male Paladin of Ilmater
- Aasimar Male Paladin of Ilmater
- Tiefling Male Ranger (Archer)
- Tiefling Female Ranger (Archer)
- Halforc Female Barbarian

You got to love those 20Wis/20Cha characters.

 

Seeing as how I hate large parties, the most people I tend to use is 4. I'm currently playing through two games, one with a solo character, and one with a party. The party is as follows.

Human Ranger dual wielding longswords
Human Battleguard of Tempus with axes
Human Sorceress with a sling
Human Bard with a crossbow

I also gave the cleric points in crossbow, to help her in ranged combat until she gained enough base attack bonus to be efficient with a throwing axe. Then when I found out the short range on the haft over head axe, i switched her back to using the crossbow and using her axe to melee. The ranger has points in bow to use any decent bows we come across. The Sorceress also has a staff, and the Bard is using small blades.

I tend to go with a human party because I am basing the biographies on people I know and creating friends of mine and whatnot as my characters, but you could switch out for other races if you wanted to.

This is the party I'm playing through right now, making another one soon

Jerome - Human Morninglord of Lathander (talker)
Djenne - Half-Orc Fighter/Barbarian (tank)
Lioness - Elven Monk (backup tank, less hp but better ac)
Frost - Elven Fighter (archer, uses bow whole time, has over 30% of kills with 20 dex)
Deathmage - Tiefling Thief/Wizard (20 int/dex)
Joy - Wild Elf Sorceress (Whoo!)

 

Uhh.. can't remember, aasimar paladin/fighter. Noble guy, leads the party. Wears great sword and full plate.

Hans Njord, dwarf fighter/ranger. Rought fighter, but kind. He has always lived in those snowy neighborhood. Wears two axes and light armor also very effective with crossbow.

Hulk, half-orc barbarian/fighter. Very strong fighting machine, but lacks charisma and intelligence. Friends with Hans. Bastard sword and medium armor.

Violet Rose, human wizard. Pale but dark young girl with acknowledge of necromancing. Spells and sling.

Sharon Du'var, drow cleric. She is a half-drow.. her skin and looks are human, but drow capabilities. I guess one of her parents was a drow. Basic long sword or mace, shield and half plate.

Duh can't remember her name either, halfling rogue. Extremely agile and uses backstabbing and bow as her main weapons.

I am suprised I don't remember names of those two.. well going out to play now so maybe I edit the post later. But anyways.. since IWD2 lacks the party dialogue, which I loved in BG2 I've created some backgrounds and more character to my party while playing.

 

My first time party. As a newbie to 3e as well as the game. I did this with my thoughts on them afterwards.

1. Half elf Bard. Should have made it human. Half elf is useless in IWD2.

2. Shield Dwarf Fighter. Perhaps Gold Dwarf is better since Dex makes no difference in Full Plate Armour.

3. Human Barbarian. Dumb choice! Rages are garbage, as compared to BG2. (Stupid AC penalty) 1 damage resistance to a 20+ attack makes such a huge difference....not! The d12 HP are nice, but a Fighter with Toughness feat, mega CON and some items can easily catch up. What's the point of a barbarian....

4. Cleric of Lathander. Human. Ho hum.... Perhaps the Tempus or Talos cleric is better?

5. Halfling, strongheart, Rogue. I kept her vanilla for the feats past level 10, but since I was not really impressed by them perhaps I should have multi classed as ranger as well....

6. Wild Elf sorcerer. Should have gone for Human. Humans are just so much better....

Anyway I learnt from my mistakes and it will be time to make a completely evil "Underdark" type party... (With an Aasimar Paladin leader who is trying to convert them to see the light!...Ow! it hurts!)

 

After reading Fizity's reply (lol!!!) I decided to create my own little party of the same idea.

Members-

Deathmage-Lawful Neutral Tiefling Necromancer (20 int!)
Djenne-Chaotic Good Human Fighter (w/ Polearm)
Bishop-Chaotic Good Human Ranger (w/ Axes & Bow)
Fizzy (aka Fizity)-Aasimar Chaotic Good Sorceress (20 Charisma!)
Shadowstrider-Tiefling Chaotic Evil Demarch of Mask/Rogue
Snowking-Half-Elf Chaotic Good Bard

(Hmm, how come all goods are Chaotic Good? Dunno, must have a thing about them)

 

I hope that this party will last longer than the previous ones - and hopefully will beat the game and HoF someday:

1) Ghostwise Halfling - Rogue 2 / Barbarian 4

STR 17, DEX 20, CON 12, INT 13, CHA 3
Will increase his Barbarian levels rom now on - good tank, Axe/Flail with Shield, Evasion, good AC with Expertise and high Dex bonus.

He also does Pickpocket an Open locks.

2) Human Monk 1 / Ranger 1 / Cleric 4

STR 18, DEX 18, CON 16, INT 3, WIS 19, CHA 3

Good AC, dual-wield Small Blades, lots of cleric spells, good tank all around. As the first char, has some skill points invested in Hide and Move Silently, also has Evasion.

3) Wild Elf Rogue 2 / Fighter 1 / Sorceress 3

STR 8, DEX 20, CON 12, INT 12, WIS 8, CHA 19

Area effect spells master, talker, uses Shield and Throwing Axe, has Evasion, can drop Fireballs on herself or any other member of the party with little chance of hurting the party. Also has some Hide skills. She also identifies stuff.

 

My party:

a lvl 9 Aasimar Pally... my Party Leader!

a lvl 9 Tiefling Rogue...

lvl 9 Cleric of Selune... oh yeah, She's Drow of course

a lvl 10 Wild Elf Sorc..

A lvl 10 half-elven bard... (she rocks! literally!)

finally a lvl 10 human Monk...

Thats all folks!

 

Wow! A lot of people are playing multiple games! So am I! Here are mine:

Belisarius - Aasimar Paladin of Helm
Thorfin Skulsplitter - Shield Dwarf Fighter
Bronwyn - Human Fighter/Sorcerer
Eowyn - Human Battleguard of Tempus
Nimbul Alewine - Strongheart Halfling Rogue/ +1 level of ranger for ambidexterity and two-weapon fighting
Elliandra DeVir - Female Drow Wizard (Abjurer)

Party 2:

Athelstan Talmanes - Aasimar Paladin of Helm
Azog Skullcleaver - Half-Orc Fighter
Eowyn - Human Cleric - Lathander
Aemon Pelivar - Tiefling Rogue
Balin ThunderAxe - Shield Dwarf Fighter/Battleguard of Tempus
Circe Anthalas - Moon Elf Conjurer

 

Sir Randale Avantor: aasimar paladin of Helm- one fighter level for each 2 paladin levels, high Dplomacy, Intimidate, medium Bluff, Fiendslayer and Large Sword Specialty a must

Ailura Faline: aasimar druid/sorceress-balanced levels, cast a few spells, fire a few arrows, shapeshift for melee (Dire Panther is pretty good)

Sallinthrae: Drow Wizard, bow proficiency, Spirit of Flame, high knowledge and alchemy for potion brewing and identification

Mirrian Blindside: Lightfoot Halfling Rogue- because you gotta have a rogue

Kraagri: Half-Orc Barbarian- axes, bows, Wilderness Lore

Thanallia Lightspark-Wild Elf cleric of Lathander: bows, maces, many many healing, protective, and a few fire spells- a good rearguard in case of ambush

 

Previous Party

Half-orc Barbarian (10)/Fighter (6) Hammers and long swords
Dwarf Cleric of Tempus (16) Axes and crossbow
Human Monk of Old Order (16) fists and crossbow
Human Rogue (12)/Fighter (4) dual wielding short swords and bow
Moon Elf Wizard (15)/Ranger (1) dual wield long sword and dagger, mainly bow
Human Bard (13)/ Fighter (5) bows, maces, and spears

Using a bard was ok and Monks kick butt at higher levels, but I felt a need to play my “normal” party that I have used in every D&D game since Pool of Radiance.

Current party:

Aasimir Paladin of Helm/Fighter, levels 7/4: long sword (come on Holy Avenger)
Human Fighter, level 12 Hammers and Great swords
Human Ranger/Fighter, levels 8/4 duals with long sword and short sword or dagger, bows
Dwarf Cleric of Lathander/Fighter, levels 9/3 maces and heavy crossbows
Wild Elf Sorceress/Ranger, Levels 11/1 bows, duals with long sword and dagger
Human Rogue/Fighter, levels 8/4 dual wields short swords and bow

Had to go back to the traditional party I have played in every D&D game since Pool of Radiance (the old one, not RoMD). There is just something about the balance of the 3 tanks, 1 cleric, 1 mage and 1 thief group... Of course Sorcerers rule and the clerics and thieves have gotten much much better. Next time around I want to get a Druid in the mix (will probably drop the Ranger).

Well, I seem to remember two or three similar threads, but okay, here we go again.

Thordek Oakenshield-Male Dwarf (Shield or Gold, whichever is normal) Fighter. My tank.

Anastacia-Female Moon Elf Ranger. Does most of the speaking for the party and is the backup fighter. Pretty awesome with a pair of longswords.

Vylanya-Female Half-Elf Priest of Selune. She hasn't seen much action yet, but I just started Chapter One, so we'll see.

Kiana-Female Tiefling Rogue. The party scout and item obtainer .

Breudayael D'Sorpal-Male Drow Wizard. Not much to say about him. Pretty weak right now, but he'll become more powerful later on, I'm sure.

My last one is a female wood elf sorceress, but I can't remember her name, I haven't played in weeks. I'll edit the post with more info on her next time I get a chance to play.

I've actually written detailed backgrounds for all of these characters.
