Is Baldur's Gate based off a novel, and if so who was the main character?
For evil characters who are inclined to murder, assassin or a fighter/thief backstabber who considered Gorion an old fool.
For neutral, I'm thinking a restless bard, fighter, or a sorcerer who looked up to Gorion, but is reckless. A seeker of truth who is at odds with himself.
For good, a wizard or a priest.

@Eudaemonium I disagree, I feel like it's far more comfortable to play evil. You never need an explanation for murdering Drizz't, or any other NPC. I still do the dialogues at times, but my charnam is always lurking in the shadows. I don't need to justify my intrusion into every citizens house. They saw me walk into town and murder an onslaught of Flaming Fist mercs in the streets, so they knew I would be collecting tribute. I like to double cross NPCs too, that's like my fav thing. "Sure Silke, we will work for 200gp."....BACKSTAB...mead...
I agree with you that random robbery and Drizzt murder is far easier to justify for an evil Charname, however.
My early motivation is greed, but it becomes much darker....
As a compromise, I might be doing my next run as a vanilla fighter -- full plate and a quarterstaff, like the Watchers who would have trained him/her. I'll keep that class up to BG2, when an unknown period of time being tortured in Irenicus' dungeon leads to the PC turning to Ilmater, i.e. dual class to cleric... much like Dradeel in BG1's werewolf island turned to Selune during his long isolation.
Pretty much covers the basics.
14/17/15/16/13/12 for starting stats (roleplayed appropriately for their values).
Agreed. The reasons to hate Abdel's guts are plentiful, but that isn't one of them. Hell, I use the fact that Sarevok and Imoen get ridiculously high stats to justify my re-rolling 'till I get 90+, so why not use other Bhaalspawn to justify other attributes, like height? Godchild=excuse to make a seriously overpowered character.
I guess, but this begs the question: who are these woman that Bhaal is romancing? Hill giants? Ogres?
Not hating, just saying.
Sorry, but I just can't see Bhaal appearing as a swan, saving his own life or no.
Oh, man, what about a psionic nymph Bhaalspawn?! I think the only suitable response to such a creature would be to cry like an infant.
Err, in any case, I'm agreeing with the original poster, here. For evil, I might also say "any power-hungry character of any class who considered Gorion an old fool".
paragraph 1: Being a Paladin is a calling, it isn't something you're taught.
Paragraph 2: the Watchers in Candlekeep are probably only using Staves because of the iron shortage. I doubt that is how they're usually outfitted.
I still think the Chinchilla bhaalspawn would have made a better villain. It would have ended in a titanic struggle with Boo.
