    Well, I'm currently soloing and my character is in Dorn's Deep.

    Sharwyn (yes, I know! And she has right portrait too :love: ) Neutral Good Elf Fighter 9/Mage 11/Thief 12. 97 HPs and AC -12 (thanks for Red Knight's Shield and Shimmering Stash). She rocks.

    Hey Jesper, how does your drow dual wield swords in IWD1? ;)

    My current party, and the most successful I've ever had in IWD1:

    L 10 Human Fighter
    L 10 Human Paladin
    L 8/8 Dwarven Fighter/Cleric
    L 10 Elven Ranger
    L 11 Half-Elven Druid
    L 8/9 Elven Mage/Thief

    I could be off by a level or 2, but I'm now entering Dorn's Deep. Can't wait to get to the HoW and TotLM areas...still haven't played them yet. But I have beaten the regular game before.

    @Jesper - Yes, I'm curious about your dual-wielding IWD1 fighter/mage also.

    Just put a weapon in the shield slot with dalekeeper :)
    I havent tested it without HOW so I'm not sure if it works without it(because of the lack of animations)
    It works perfectly with HOW though, my drow had 2 1/2 attack per round :)
    And as far is I can see the dual wielding penalties are not there, at Kuldahar my drow had 47% of party kills (and I hadn't used a single spell :) )

    I have a funny PnP 3E party here. Its pretty good(read bad).

    In IWD I have my solo:

    Half-Elf Fighter d/w Bhaals Fire and Singing Blade of Ahoinen.

    I have finished the regular game and am currently just after the fight with the barbarians. Good one. Easy, too.

    You should have maked the conjurer a necromancer instead. That way you will miss minimum of the spells.

    My current party in IWD + HoW + TotL.

    Hyandas Blacksheaf - Male - Elf - Chaotic Neutral - Fighter
    STR: 16
    DEX: 17
    CON: 15
    INT: 14
    WIS: 09
    CHA: 17
    TOT: 88
    Reasoning: Everyone needs a pure fighter than can wear most weapons with a great skill.
    --------------------------
    Halanderaran - Male - Half-Elf - Chaotic Good - Cleric/Ranger

    STR: 18/89
    DEX: 18
    CON: 17
    INT: 10
    WIS: 18
    CHA: 08
    TOT: 79
    Reasoning: Meaby a little slow leveling but the high level cleric spells aren't that good anyway and another warrior seems good in a small party. Also, the ranger gets as high as 6th level druid spells now so I will have almost any priest spell in the book.
    --------------------------
    Losetot - Male - Halfling - Chaotic Neutral - Fighter/Thief

    STR: 15
    DEX: 19
    CON: 17
    INT: 12
    WIS: 08
    CHA: 10
    TOT: 81
    Reasoning: Pure thieves in IWD sucks and I also have use for yet another fighter. I guess I am a hack 'n slash type instead of a magic-user type in IWD.
    --------------------------
    Anait - Female - Half-Elf - Neutral Good - Bard

    STR: 14
    DEX: 18
    CON: 14
    INT: 18
    WIS: 10
    CHA: 17
    TOT: 91
    Reasoning: A bard can in HoW get as high as 8th level spells and as the 9th level spells sucks I felt like I don't needed a mage so it was the bard that won this one. She can also use almost all weapons, too.
    --------------------------
    Conclusion: A very good and well balanced party for all you(read mine) needs.

    @Duke Eltan - Why didn't you just make the human a gnome instead. The gnomes can have 19 in intelligence and can be a multiclass illusionist.

    I cant play with any Gnomes, Halflings or Dwarves because they are small and fat.
    I really hate the looks on them, so I sacrifice the extra point in Int so I feel good about the looks of my party :D

    Stupid, I know - but thats me.
    I know I can use Dale Keeper to change the model, did it with the halfling.
    Why I didn´t do it with the mage?
    Well, I dont know if you get more lore with 18/18 in Int/Wis or with 19/17. So I go with 18/18 in those two. Please let me know if you get more lore with 19/17.
