PC(fighter, dual classed to cleric now) Minsc Jaheira Edwin Yoshimo Keldorn I like the characters, but it's too melee-based for my taste and I'd like 1 or 2 good archers. I'm using Minsc as an archer now, but i'm sure Mazzy or Valygar would be better for the task? Also, is it possible to have Edwin and Minsc or will they go at each other at some point inevitably? I would like to keep Edwin as he is the(or is he?) the only pure class mage in the game. Any advice would be appreciated, even if it's not about archers.

First of all, archers are worthless in BG2. With the commonly found Boots of Speed all of you warriors will frontline the enemy in no time. A pure-class NPC Archer can be useful but once again, there are a lot of better fighter classes.

Edwin is not usable together with Keldorn, Valygar or Minsc in the long run. While Edwin isn't the only pure-class wizard, he is by far the best because he has 3 (!!) extra spells each level. On the other hand, Keldorn is the best pre-ToB warrior so it's a hard pick.

It eventually ends up in what you are going for. Powergaming or not.
