Im just curious wich is your favorite combo of npc's you like the be in the party sadly I had to get rid of imoen since i wanted to try kivan i have Khalid his wife minsc and dynaheirh and off course kivan. But i like imoen as well so is this a good combo?

Unless your PC is a thief, I would get Khalid killed & get Imoen back to unlock things & disable traps.

I started with BG2..
My character is an Invoker, my followers are Imoen, Nalia, Aerie, Jeheira and Minsc..
When Imoen was captured, i recruited Viconnia but switch back to Imoen afterwards..
It was a party of Casters heavy but rely more on Tactics and stealth in a fight.(Invisibility was cast to all people when i sense a big fight is ahead:P)

my character is a thief kit with i specilized in finding traps and open doors and i m8 imoen a mage but she only can do sleep and greace. i didnt know she wont be able to use a bow anymore. Sleep did save my life a lot of times but against undead she is a bit useless.

Probably better of without her then.
Once you Dual Class someone, they are pretty useless until they get their old skills back.
What level was she when you Dualled her?

she is lvl 2 thief and lvl 2 mage i need a mage so since she got a high int.

I thought you had to be level 3 to Dual, but anyway she will get her bow skills back on the next level-up.

Note:
Once you dual class, you can no longer level up in the previous class.

- lvl'ed 2 thief , and then use dual class..then the thief class will always stay frozen at level 2.

- lvl 2 thief bonus is applied to dual class, if the current class (like the 'mage' you choose) is at lvl 3 and above.

ie..you will get bonus of previous class when; you are at lvl 2 thief and lvl 3 mage (+ above).

Note: I didn't know that once you dual class, you can't level up in older class ever again...me and my friend had to restart a multiplayer BG game (BGT) after playing for like 3-4 hours because I dual classed myself and Imoen at lvl 2.

-Edit-

Its best to dual class when you feel that the bonus'es from the first class are good enough on the second class.

So if you are playing BGT or plan to import your own character into BG2 from BG1, then its better to only dual class at later levels..ideally its around 7-13 across different classes. Where you'd like to get maximum bonuses moved to your dual class'ed character, by not wasting experience points.

For warrior types, its best to start dual classing after level 9 or 10 if you have high constitution, (because they get maximum hit points bonus while they level up as warriors; fighters, rangers and barbarian)

thanks i didnt know that too bad since what i see on web sites is imoen one of the best characters oh well kivan can be bad ass as well maybe i get that other elf archer as well but i notice that archers are expensive because they need to get arrows magic arrows are ok but can be expensive.
