Sorcerer's Place - Neverwinter Nights 2, Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach, Dragon Age News has a good walkthrough and party creation advice.

High scores are nice, but not needed for a good game experience. Average scores are just fine, above avg. in the relevant abilities of the class perhaps, but thats up to you. Party composition, however, is vital. Not having a cleric when you need healing right now sux, or a rogue to disarm a trap and open a lock (though others can do it, rogues are best) can make it more difficicult to proceed. Tere are ways around these examples and other problems, if you're willing to struggle with it. This, too, can be as enjoyable as a straight run thru' with a stereotypical party.
