To preface this post, I'm one of those people who loves to make more characters. My biggest issue with Divinity 2 and this game is that I keep getting distracted and wanting to set up a second character while I still have my first one.

That being said, I'm in the process of a dwarven life cleric. The party including shadowheart, asterion, and karlach. Originally it was going to be halsin instead of shadowheart because I wanted to have all my most interested in one playthrough, but then I fell for the dark cleric.

Anyway, I was thinking of doing a tiefling paladin and an elven bard as sessions 2 and 3, and I wasn't sure what party members to bring for them. I know I want to have halsin and minsc as a group, and karlach and wyll for another but I'm not sure what characters would be best for a paladin and bard.
