    My next run through just started. The party consists of all midgets, no evil-doers allowed....current party level equals Fighter Level 10(about 475k XP)

    PC - Hobarth Earthheart - LG Male Halfling Kensai - Dual wielder, Katana +1 & Belm.
    Mazzy - Full Plate, RoP +1, Tuigan Bow or Sword of Avoreen & Fortress Shield, GoOP. With 113 HPs, she is actually a major tanker.
    Alora - BG1 Npcs in Soa (SK'd back to Thief, Dev created her as a Swashy, didn't find it fitting with her dialogue) Short bow +2, Ilbratha or Stilletto of Demarchess.
    Quayle - BG1 Npcs in Soa - Staff of Fire, Darts.
    Yeslick - BG1 Npcs in Soa - Full Plate +1, Dwarven Thrower or Warhammer +2 & Saving Grace, GoHGS & GoD, he hits hard from a distance or in melee.
    Petsy Chattertone - Halfling Bard NPC mod. Club n Crossbow. She talks A LOT.

    My PC choice is challenging as he is my melee damage-dealer. Mazzy & Yeslick currently have ACs of -9, my PC is AC currently 2. So they usually start with missle barrage and rush to front to save Hobarth when he gets into trouble. Quayle is surprisingly efficient. Though I fear with no single class mage, I might change my mind later in the game. But it does make for more of a challenge. I am pleasantly surprised at how efficient a Tiny Team of do-gooders can be. :)

    team tiny dot com would probably not be safe for work....

    Even with basic shorter race characters you have an incredibly strong team -- Jan, Korgan and Mazzy (who surprisingly gets along well with the dwarf). Just add a PC cleric and you got a dynamite group.

    Sounds fun! I've occasionally entertained the idea of a shorties team, but I think the comedic value of it would wear of fairly quickly and I'd probably give up with it before long.

    I've taken inspiration from this thread in creating my latest party:
    Half-Elf Blade
    Half-Orc Berserker
    Half-Orc Kensai
    Human Monk
    Elf Archer
    Human Fighter -> Assassin (SK)

    My only arcane caster is the Blade, and my only divine caster is the Archer (plus the couple of Heal Light Wounds from the Blade main character). Suffice to say some careful tactics are required! Oh, and I never rest until fully healed. I Shadow Keepered in the Stat Tomes from BG1, so the Berk has 20 Con and regenerates entirely over a night's rest, so my strategy basically revolves around him trying to take all the damage, and the rest of the party dealing out the damage! They hit pretty hard, too. :)

    Half-orc fighter/assassin (SK) is awesome.
