Sounds like a well-rounded party. In fact very similiar to the one I'm playing now in HOW. I tried a thief/fighter also, but she didn't last too long. In the beginning I thought she was great, especially the boost to HP but by Lower Dorn's she wasn't a big deal anymore. I've found the mage/thief to be a better combo, especially in HOW. My other mage is a fighter/mage which I like alot!! Great HP and an extra slot in bows, not to mention the ability to use long swords instead of daggers.(She carries a hammer should she need one too.) She's gone toe-to-toe with several enemies that I never would have put a mage against in melee combat and came through with flying colors. Maybe I'll try a fighter that duals to thief and get some extra slots in bows and long swords.
As far as my paladin, he doing pretty well in the HP category, with 153 at level 13, just 9 shy of my dwarf fighter with 19 cons, also at level 13.
I tend to have several parties at one time in various stages of the game, so I'll mix exp characters with newbies or run a mid-level character through a few areas just for exp. I never used a bard before starting HOW. I played the just the expansion option and brought in five of my favs then added the Morgana bard. Now I'm ready to start one from scratch, along with my first druid considering how much I've heard about them on the board.
