A good idea to play IWD is to make the party which is in the IWD Trilogy:
Drizzt Dark Elf Ranger Long Sword
Wulfgar Human Fighter* Axe
Bruenor Dwarf Fighter Axe
Regis Halfling Cleric/Ranger** Bow/Spells
and one mage and a thief with my opinion to be elves.
*There isn't barbarian class.
**I don't know what class is Regis.
Farewell Drizzt

You read the salvatore books and you know so little about the party? drizzt in a dark elf ranger with SCIMITAR, wulfgar is barbarian with HAMMER (barbarians are in 3E rules) Regis is a halfling THIEF, he didnt use a bow once, and hes never used a spell. You sure you read the books? ALSO you left out catti brie who is a human fighter with a bow/long sword.

Barbarian it isn't in IWD and for Regis don't remember!

And you call yourself Drizzt! Shame on you! :rolleyes:

Yeah, Kindillin is right.. Drizzt has 2 SCIMITARS, no long sword, and Regis... he is a wussy halfling thief that RUNS from anything that might hurt him... and you can't forget about Wulfgar's Aegis Fang(HAMMER), and Catti-Brie with her special bow. I'd say the only one you got right was Bruenor...

In an IWD Trilogy group I'd also include Artemis Entreri, even though he WAS trying to kill the others... :D

He'd probably be a Fighter/Theif since there isn't an assasin class in IWD. He'd have to be Half-Elven or Elven, or maybe dual-classed human. With a dagger. I'd put his alignment at Chaotic Neutral.

Regis would need a sling, even if he never used one simply 'cause it's a halfling thing.

Even though Barbarians don't exist, I'd put Wulfgar in, make him a fighter, and give him grandmaster specialty in the warhammer. Of course, at that point he'd beat the crap out've Drizzt in the game, which I highly doubt would happen otherwise. :)
