My tanks are fine, there's surprisingly little difference between 2 stars and 5 stars (unless you're using that mod that changes the proficiency table back to BG1). I find a full fighter to be a waste of space, all he can do is tank. My Inquisitor is much better, even though it levels slower and gets less proficiencies, because it can true sight and dispel, and use carsomyr. The Ranger->Cleric is also excellent, the Kensai->Thief is wonderful, and if that isn't enough, the kensai->Mage can chip in (he can get 5 stars too), and the other two are quite useful too.

The Swashbuckler->Mage is good enough for lockpicking, detecting traps, and I would have given him pickpocketing too were it not for the Blade having it. I gave him detect illusion instead (and a little bit of trap setting). Backstabbing and major-trap-laying is where the Kensai->Thief excels, and I gave him some detect illusion too.
well if your playing in TOB anyway there aren't much traps so 3 dual classed thieves is a waste, esp for a figter which will alter their hp

and with 5 stars you can get 2 attacks in one round(iiRC) this is a little difference? try out a single classed kensai vs your kensai/thief the dual class will problably lose it has less health and lower THACO etc

but assume you like to play with all, kinda like all characthers are jack of all trades..

it's nice to let 2-3 characters do the same thing. but it's kinda weak
and all dual classed characthers will not get the full potentional in their class
losing on some abilities and such.

but play as you will good luck with your party(in TOB i would suggest at least3 tanks since TOB is more warrior based in case of spell based)
