Wow, you have so many options I can see why it's a tough decision. Do you have NPCs out of that long list that you really want to use? That may be a starting point - eliminating roles that will already be filled by other characters. Other than that, is there a theme you're interested in exploring, e.g. rogues, undead slayers, etc.? And for higher level considerations, do certain classes scale better throughout the game with your mod setup?
If you haven't played with Finch or Indira before, I would strongly recommend both of them. They're extremely charming and fun to have around, and neither of them is overpowered. Tenya is also an interesting character, though she's extremely overpowered if you use her special water spells (Boiling Rain Storm is devastating).
With all those npc options and the fact that you haven't played the game for a while I'd be inclined to roleplay it like crazy. Roll a die to determine what class you'll be, don't min/max your stats, write a backstory for your character and just go out there without any pre-planning as to who will be in your party.
Alora is totally a cleric/thief of Tymora with the FnP kit. She fits the role so well. Have done this in my own game as well.
Do not succumb to restartitis. Go with the warrior mystic. He is dead 'ard. As Viconia might say: Victory will be yours. You know this.
Edit: you're a scion of Bhaal, Lord of Murder and, by extension, Involuntary and Premature Inhumation. I think the warrior mystic with powers over earth and soil is a good fit. Several BG gods of death or the dead (though not murder) are also gods of the soil, the harvest, etc. Urogalan, halfling god of death and the ground, even has a splinter sect that buries people alive .....
And, thanks to the "Level 1 Cantrips" component of Tome & Blood, Tarnesh can spam Sleep at me without limit, every other round. (Thankfully, it is nerfed to be a single-target spell.)
Summoned creatures behave in a very strange way: for example, ogre mages from SR monster summoning V will keep casting "Shield" every round when idle (even though the duration of that spell is 5 turns......)
Incidentally these mods make the game pretty interesting. In addition to more content (I just met a dying mail carrier who asked me to deliver a bunch of letters around the area... cool justification to go out and explore!),
I love that mod, little surprises all the way through the game just about.
@subtledoctor I was not using SCS, just SR and TnB in order to see if summoned creatures would receive cantrips..... Anyway, I found another bug: it seems that with TnB installed, mages can use short bows, long swords, katanas, 2-handed swords, crossbows,.... -> this is clearly not intended....
@subtledoctor Sirene is slow to trust. She opens up A LOT after clearing the Nashkel mines. In fact, I don't think any banters of hers trigger until you clear the mines.
I mean, it'd be nice if you could give people feedback about playing a heavily modded game on an iPad (stability, noticeable slow downs and so forth.....). My game is going quite well at the moment (with a 2-3 level party, SCS Greywolf was a nasty surprise: I managed to kill him only thanks to the wand of frost....)

Maybe I should try this out next time I play...

However, I sent you several messages regarding your mods and I'd like you to have a look at them -> I am sure I did find some bugs......
(And I always thought that Divine Remix and F&P were not compatible)
