Mix it up

If u want a druid stick one of dem in indeffinetely i like them too.. also i like to add some of the more interesting classes like monks or a monk with sorcerer levels, so he can shoot out his burning hands when he gets into hand to hand, give anything a level of barbarian and it gets interesting, seeing a rogue go into a barbarian rage, bards are another interesting class, but i dont use them much so i wouldnt know if they're fun

First Character...

DROW, Bard/Paladin (finally something good out of Weidus mods)
This character is Chaotic Good... Some sort lonewolf.. and little bit insane.. Using Kivan sound set from BG1.. but i am considering to change ti to XZAR sound set


HALF ORC, Pain bearer of Ilmater(/fighter levels later perhaps)
He is Neutral good... The good guy in this party.. And he is more than willing to use his flail against anyone who reminds his origin. BTW he has Kresslack soundset.. you do remember him in IWD1 dont you?

AASIMAR, Sorcerer..
She is Lawfull neutral and lets say this short she aint sure on wich race she belongs to.. Becuse in her veins is blood of almost every ''smart'' creature wich walk on Faerum.. She has little crush to that Half orc.. but now she has starting to think that he is gay.. her arms are burned.. (so they look quite uggly.. ) She is the one who makes my party to go and see what is behind that hill... even if it leads to sure death.. i use Imoen sound set with this char..

STRONGHEART HALFLING, MONK/ROGUE...

This mad pegleg monk is realy pain in ass.. each time we get to tavern he will get drunk.. and did i say that he is ugly as hell.. he wields one big axe.. and when he isnt doing that he is using his fists to get trough taht mountain/wall of ice.. he also has some dad issues.. in this world his own belly is more important than anything else.. and it should be becuse there is one bid Diamond in it.. he is Chaotic Neutral. I use Tiax sound set with this char... and his name is TIAX BTW..

BTW..

DROW is called Dred's, HALF ORC is called B'Gru and that Sorcerer is called IMOEN... but she is not imoen from BG... it will take 20-40 years before that IMOEN will born..

Hard to role-play, but...

This is a lo(o)n(i)er
raised as a Paladin (lvl2), she lost her parents in a raid on the paladins keep and became distrustful of the gods. In her mourning she sought shelter in a monastery, but the resrictive ways couldn't calm the fury, which grew out of her loss, leaving her at the lowest level (1). In fact she learned to channel her anger in a barbarian tribe gaining some of their skills (lvl2), but beeing treated as an outsider lets her leave. She had to resort to things she wouldn't even had considered in her earlier life, becomming somewhat rougish (1lvl).
Seeing what has become of her, she left the so called 'zivil' society, studying nature to regain her balance, unfolding her true power (druid 24). Now is the time to bring balance to the rest of the world, whether they want it or not!

Character
Paladin 2
Monk 1
Barbarian 2
Rogue 1
Druid 24

(Use Ease-of-Use Mod from Wes Weimer to gain additional druid spells, alternate shapes, removal of alignment restriction and maybe better bastard swords)

This IS a powergamer build, no denial. (it's intended for solo and belive me you can still die)
What you get:
Paladin:
immunity: disease, fear
Charisma bonus(if positive) to saves
AR +2
STR +1 and Wis +1 by special quest
item access (ring: Wisdom +5)

Monk:
evasion
Wisdom bonus to AC
+2 to all saves

Barbarian:
Hitpoints
speed bonus
uncanny dodge
rage
AR +2

Rogue
mild sneak damage
item access (rogue (Drow sells item for rogue only, which gives up to +3 AC type = generic and +3 Charisma))
skill points (should be spent to search/disarm, remember this is a solo)

Druid
immunity: poison
no more fatigue
spells
SHAPESHIFTING (Elemental Half-Dragon, this is it!)

As Elemental Half-Dragon your damage roll will be:
2d6+4 + Str. modifier*1.5+(4*3d6 elemental damage) topping out at 100+
(the Half-Dragon wields a longsword, profession-wise, but damage-wise it's a greatsword 2d6). Take a point in bastard swords(exotic) as well, to gain critical range of 13-20 by using Know thy Family as an offhand weapon (gives permanent executioners eyes) + impr. crit longsword.

In a normal game level squatting or CLUA will be needed to gain lvl 30.

On creation:
Human

Wisdom: max (or at least 17) + Level up bonus goes here

Charisma: positive bonus gives + to saves (take odd number as you gain an item of +3 = even -> best bonus)

Dexterity: 14-16 (depends, if you want ambidex go 15; even number is preferred as it got substracted by 1 through holy transference + item +5 =even -> best bonus)

Constitution: 8-10 (better if you manage to drop something else)

Strength: 10-13 (you have to carry stuff and if you want cleave, which you will -> 13

Intelligence: as you like (higher gives more skill points -> needed for cc skills like open/search/disarm)

whooosh, that got long, I hope you can at least some of this put to good use
