Help with picking a class.
![InvictusCobra](https://forums.beamdog.com/uploads/userpics/775/nDTVWAD2IVLGB.jpg)
So after realizing most ToB story mods aren't compatible with EE, I borrowed a friend's original BG2 to play said mods (Ascension and Irenicus related mods). But as I'm going to create my Charname, I try to think of something to play that would fit the party I have in mind (Minsc, Jaheira, Imoen, Keldorn and Aerie). I've played a Fighter/Thief, Cavalier and Archer and now I don't know what to play, since the lack of a dedicated tank of Good alignment NPC makes me feel obligated to make one since now that I'll be playing Ascension, the difficulty in ToB will skyrocket and require preplanning. Any class suggestions for this party?

At higher levels, Use Any Item gives them the AC to be more resilient.
In ToB, there's not much that CAN'T hit a PC (so AC itself isn't the benefit it was in late SoA), but you've got so many gear options AND fantastic top-level buff support from clerics and mages (or even themselves UAI'ing scrolls, etc) that Swashbucklers become almost OP in their late 20's.
I love the class, but come mid-30's, they actually get boring in how well they defeat all but the most powerful enemies.
I decided to play as a Skald. I decided to play a support role instead of being the guy killing everything up front. Not sure if that would be a good choice with mods included. I only play vanilla.
If you don't like being a support guy, I agree that a conjurer or sorcerer would be good with that group.
But then I once tried the Priest of Talos and it got...quite interesting. Basically a buff machine, buffing much more than when I had an NPC Cleric, which made all the encounters easier (I play strictly at Hard or Insane level, never less).
I can imagine playing a Cleric in a Multiplayer group could get similarly interesting too...
Try a fighter/mage or a blade. He will become your ultimate tank.
