Hi guys
I've started BG2 EE and it's real fun, I decided on making a full party myself to play the game. What I was really after was advice/feedback from people who have finished the game on my party, I've used the forums for advice on builds.
Main char, human paladin inquisitor, 2 handed for the paladin sword, also halberd/axe
Dwarf berserker fighter, axe and hammer specialised, using 1 handler and shield as main tank to soak damage.
Human cleric with mace/flail , decided not to dual class as wanted lots if spells.
Elf fighter Mage, duel wielding long swords, scimitar, katana
Gnome fighter/thief mainly short bow with daggers and short swords for close work
Human Mage , single class to get as many spells
How does this mix sound? I've read about some of the powerful weapons, like flail of ages, cromsyer, I'm just not sure if my team is good enough or built right

The dwarf berserker rocks. Lots of fun, this one.
Hmmm, since you want that cleric to be human, why don't you create that awesome, unstoppable, dual berserker/cleric? Or you can try the Dwarf multi fighter/cleric, which is one of the most useful, clever and powerful multis around, since vanilla and originals...
Elf mage alone seems good enough. Not only elves make poor(er) warriors, due to constitution penalty, but should you multiclass, they won't reach mage level 28, at which you gain maximum spell slots (allowing you to cast more spells). Also, should you consider it, elves make wonderful thief/mages instead...
Nope. HALFLING fighter thief is where the fun is at. Halflings make the best thieves around, even if their paper doll, whenever mixing "fighter" class in the picture, looks like shite. Their thieving bonuses are larger. And they are skilled with a sling. Consider those buddies...
Human mage? Why don't you do that awesome, infamous, deadly, human figher (or kit) dual to mage? This is by far more effective than your average, fighter/mage multiclass. They become broken, overpowered, a real gem!! Berserker or Kensai to mage, especially when you dual at 9 level (or even better yet, 13...), is where all the badassness and kinkyness is at!
