Perfect Party #4 – Baldur’s Gate II

This guide is a collection of tips for forming a strong party in Baldur’s Gate II. These tips were provided by GameBanshee users.

Overview

I tried to balance magic and fighting, ranged and melee, and all classes needed.

So this is it:

  1. Half-orc, Barbarian, dual wield with a longsword and a katana (I prefer Blackrazor and Celestial Fury).
  2. Human, Undead Hunter, two-handed sword (Carsomyr of course).
  3. Human, Swashbuckler/Cleric (dual at lvl 11), dual wield with warhammer and flail (I prefer Crom Faeyr and Flail of Ages).
  4. Elf, Archer, longbow (Mana Bow).
  5. Elf, Sorcerer, sling or quarterstaff (Staff of the Magi).
  6. Gnome, Cleric/Illusionist, sling (Sling of Everard).

Explanation:

  • 3 melee, 3 ranged.
  • Primary magic: swashbuckler/cleric and sorcerer.
  • Secondary magic: cleric/ilusionist.
  • No character wasted on the thief class: swashbuckler/cleric has enough thief points, and a basic armor class of 3!!
  • I DON’T like druids, but again if you want one you can replace either the barbarian or the paladin for a fighter/druid (dual at an early lvl) with a spear of course (I thought the Backbiter was very good).

I love RPGs, sandboxes, survival, and sim games. Anything that lets me build and decorate or just has a really good story. I've spent hundreds of hours in Bethesda games and even more time modding them. I also play a lot of World of Warcraft.
