In the past many posters have said the four party member limit restricted them to only playing with the optimal balanced composition of 1 warrior, 1 skill specialist, 1 arcane caster, and 1 priest.
But I was looking at my spreadsheet of planned playthroughs (NERD) and realized I’m only planning on running unusual party compositions.
1) Wild Party
Tav (Druid)
Jaheira (Druid)
Minsc (Barbarian)
Karlach (Barbarian)
2) All Arcane
Tav (Sorcerer)
Wyll (Warlock)
Gale (Diviner Wizard)
Minsc (also Diviner Wizard)
I really hope Gale hates Minsc and they bicker incessantly.
3) All Melee
Origin Wyll (Warlock)
Lae’zel (Fighter)
Minsc (Barbarian)
Karlach (Paladin)
4) Murderers
Dark Urge (Monk / Assassin)
Astarion (Wizard / Assassin)
Wyll (Warlock / Assassin)
Shadowheart (Cleric / Assassin)
Clearly I am planning on making abundant use of companion respecing to accomplish this.
Anybody else planning to break the classic party mold?
