Depends. If you have ToB:

You (Thief)
Korgan
Viconia
Edwin
And the NPC in ToB.

If you don't:
You (fighter/thief multi)
Korgan
Viconia
Edwin

OR you could pick up Jan and just play a plain fighter.

Take in some neutral NPCs too. It' very evil to use them for your own evil purposes so don't worry about it. Choose from Cernd, Haer'Dalis and Jan. There is also Yoshi if you don't mind him. Jaheria isn't that appropriate being a Harper and all. Anomen will do nicely though, if you only let him fail his test.

Doesn't Anomen become something of a party liability shortly after he fails his test, though? (I haven't kept him after Ch2 after blowing his knighthood, but I read that he can cause some problems...)

That is mainly with Keldorn IIRC.

Take Anomen near the end, be selfish & sacrifice him in hell.

I've recently played trough SoA, WK and start of ToB with the above mentoned combination (I've also included the fifth NPC). It's rather easy, because anyone levels up fast in such a small party.

Your main char is probably a F/T and has to work as the party's thief and your second tank. Go for swords and dual wield. Thhe Sword of Mask is great if you have ToB installed, the second one could be Daystar or one of the many good short swords. Later on Blackrazor will come into play, it's strength increasing ability is simply great. As for Armor, Night's gift and Human Flesh are fine.

Weapons and equipment for the party are easy to chose (as for armor, just take the best there is):

Have Korgan specializing in Warhammer as his second weapon (Dwarven Thrower, Crom) and dual wield.
Viconia will learn any Cleric weapons sooner or later anyway (but I usually have her wielding Mauler's arm for strenght).
Edwin is fine with darts (Crimson), staff (of the Magi), dagger and Vecna's robe.

There are enough regeneration items for anyone to have one (two rings, ring of Gaxx and ioun stone). Boots of speed are rare, give them to the fighters.
