Currently I’m testing out:

  • Dark Urge paladin/bard
  • Karlach four elements monk
  • Asterion Fiend warlock
  • Laezel Evocation wizard

    • Custom Drow Wild Magic Sorcerer
    • Shadowheart (Trickery Cleric)
    • Karlach (Berserker Barbarian)
    • Astarion (Arcane Trickster Rogue)

    I’m finding that four party members is too few for my liking. Benching Astarion means having to go back to camp for him every time I encounter locks or traps, which is too annoying to bother with, and Shadowheart is always needed for Bless in combat and Guidance on checks (I provide my own Enhance Ability). That means I really only have one flex slot, since I can’t bench myself, and it needs to be a front liner since I’m not one.

    The previous two BG games had six person parties, which was way better. I would like to be able to bring Lae’zel as a second front liner, and Gale because he knows all the utility spells.

        I found one but it says it might break things, so I’m waiting for one that’s more stable. Also ideally you’d rebalance encounters around the increased party size, but that would be a massive undertaking so I don’t expect a mod to ever do it.

      I definitely agree in wanting a bigger party size. 5e is pretty optimized around 5 person parties. 6 is a bit harder to balance around, but still doable.
