What can you guys recommend me here please?

For true powergaming, read JUPP, UPP and SilverDragon's write-up. For normal game (not powergaming), the best offensive caster/melee character would be a cleric of Lathander or Talos. They have very powerful offensive spells and moderate melee ability. You may want to take one of these as your 6th member.

PS: 1/2 orcs make good clerics

You have been trully helpful, making the game much easier to start with.

This game is true pleasure indeed...!!
BTW, does IWD2 have an expansion?


Thanks again.

No, there are no IWD2 expansions. But it is a decent length, and the HoF mode offers a challenge - essentially doubling the size of the game, as people generally run a party through normal mode first before entering HoF.
