After dithering for ages and playing around with the different options, I ended up going with standard array for my only Solasta party (so far). It somehow felt right for that game, though I don’t think I could give a good explanation why. Something to do with wanting to treat my party members equally, as I was playing the party as a whole rather than an individual character, I think. It’s not an option I’d pick for a BG3 main character, but I maybe would if we get to create custom companions/mercenaries. And if I play enough to tire of the pre-built companions.
