A fine idea, so it is. You want to explore the tactics side of the game: setting traps, backstabs, sneaking, invisibility, exploring the possibilities of combining arcane and divine magics... the list goes on and on. I'll wager you're gonna have a very fun game.
I'm a huge fan of the NPC's, for many reasons. So, I would suggest using Aerie (the elven Cleric/Mage) as your Character #2.
I would then suggest using Haer'Dalis, the tiefling Rogue Blade, as your Character #3.
H'D is a very interesting NPC. He's a jack of many talents, but master of none. Many experienced Gamebanshee forum members have described H'D as being the most worthless party member available: worst tank, worst spellcaster, etc. Other members have described H'D as by far the best party member available.
Very curious. All the NPCs are potential powerhouses, all are only as good as they are appropriately used, and figuring out their strengths and how to compensate for their weaknesses is half the fun.
My impression of H'D is that, when his many skills are combined together and used appropriately, he is potentially the strongest NPC available. The trick with him is figuring out how to best use his plethora of talents. This could fit well into your exploration of the "tactics" side of the game.
And if you have Aerie and H'D together, they have alot of banters (especially if you romance Aerie).
Valygar the Stalker would be a good choice too. He can handle swords and range weapons, and can do the whole sneak/backstab thing. And Jan the Gnome would be a good choice too. He is a Illusionist/Thief, after all.
