I am playing a good party, currently in the Underdark.
Suul Yinn, elven mage/thief lvls 14/17. Str 8, Dex 20, Con 16, Int 19, Wis 19, Cha 10. Imported from BG
Keldorn, lvl 17
Valygar, lvl 16
Jaheira, lvl 13/13
Imoen, lvl 13/7
Aerie, lvl 15/14
NB I have removed the EXP cap, but that is my only cheat.
Tactics are Suul Yinn scouts, protected by cloak of mirrowing, stone skin and hiding in shadows. Once an enemy is spotted, she casts area spells to soften them if necessary. Typically Greater Malison, Emotion, Cloudkill, Fireball etc depending on target. Jaheira uses insect plague to disable mages and summons fire elementals, before closing in h-to-h. Keldorn wields Carsomyr and is equipped with boots of speed, regeneration ring, red dragon armour etc. Valgar dual wields Celestial fury and his family Katana. Both fighters have boots of the Cheetah and wade in rapidly, often wiping out the enemy before they can react. They killed an elder orb in 1 round before he could blink! Aerie is used as backup, casting defensive spells and breach etc and in her anti-undead role, ie turning and casting false dawn or sunray. Imoen is also used in a similar role, targeting the tougher targets.
I tend to dispose of mages first, as they have the potential of dominating my fighters and using area spells. Often I use one 2nd line NPC to fire missiles at mages to disrupt their spell-casting.
Favourite spells: Malison, Emotion, Chaos, Sunray, Summon Elemental(cleric), haste, Insect Plague, Domination
