My party:
1 Paladin
1 Ranger, sweet scores and uses a bow (damn she has 60% of all my kills, ranged attacks rule in IWD!)
1 Fighter, brute dwarf with axe power
1 Thief, i usually use multi-thiefs, but because of all those traps in IWD i thought it would be better to make a character who only has to concentrate on improving as a thief
1 Cleric
1 Mage, omg 1st level mages are weak
IWD isnt my favorite game, P:T is, but i like hack and slash action too, i just have to finish this before bg2 and tob will arrive, i see it as my personal quest
