What do u say - Sarevok for Valygar?
and - Yoshimo for Imoen...
Btw my current party is:
Me(Cavalier)
Minsc
Valygar
Anomen
Imoen
Aerie

I have more parties, though this is the one I want to carry on to ToB...

Thanks in advance,

I would say no to swapping Valygar for Sarevok. From the looks of things you have a Good-aligned party, and Sarevok is Chaotic Evil. Besides, you have all the main tank you need in your Cavalier. Don't forget in ToB Valygar's backstab ability will hit even higher levels, which makes him awesome for hit-and-fade attacks.
I wouldn't drop Imoen either for two reasons. First, I have a feeling that she will be much improved in the expansion, and second she's your main mage. If you need to drop someone, drop one of your clerics. Aerie is both backup mage and cleric, but if she's your love interest and you don't want to lose all those spell combos she can cast, drop Anomen. You already have three tanks in your Cavalier, Minsc and Valygar, and Aerie should be able to do all the clerical casting in ToB, so why not drop Anomen? That way you can pick up Yoshimo as your main thief (plus I'm sure his special traps will come in handy for the expansion).

valygar -> saravok looks like a decent move.

imoen -> yoshimo ? are you crazy? imoen is your only single class mage?

in your party i'd def. keep anomen, imoen and minsc

if you are real worried about traps & locks ect, maybe jan for aerie?

you could drop both valygar & minsc for saravok & yoshimo

IMO drop Valygar for Sarevok. You don't have a pure fighter in your party. I'd drop minsc instead of Valygar 'cause i prefer Valygar to minsc (basckstab +mage spells +better character...but that's my opinion....)

Ditch Anomen swap with Keldorn, He's a tank also, besides his 2 handed sword makes more difference when melee than Anomen stuff (Anomen also too annoying IMHO).

Swap Imoen with Yoshi ? No way ! There's no room for 2 headed snake in my party.

By swapping Anomen with Keldorn you still got a good allign party.

As for Sarevok vs Valygar that depend on your decision. If you want a tank also you can swap them but that may sacrifice balance in your good allignment party especially if you got Anomen or Keldorn. I don't think Sarevok can get along with Anomen or Keldorn, considering their allignment.

As for Aerie I've got no comment since you got no mage nor cleric if you dump her. The truth is I prefer a Combo of Cleric and Druid. Mages are good in casting spell especially when they reach high levels. But they tend to be vulnerable when meleeing. that's why I use Jaheira and Viconia on my party.....No offense I kinda found Aerie so whiny of her nagging "if I still have my wings"

You can't get Yoshimo for ToB. IIRC, The person that you tell who you want in your party will say that your fate and his are no longer intertwined. I think.

KID01 - maybe you didn't see, my pc is a cavalier and he wields the Carsomyr, so Keldorn is rather useless, don't you think?
