Hello all,
I'm starting the game and I'm sort of unfamiliar with 3E D&D Manual and Rules...
I dabbled around and I enjoyed playing with 6 characters (even if it does get messy at times), so I decided to make a 6-char party as a first attempt to play this game - next time there'll only be three probably.

Leaving behind all roleplaying details, following is the 6 components of the party - nery tyopical and unremarkable, just classic stats for their classes.
I would appreciate any suggestion or advice to improve them (race, stats, abilities, whutever!), and especially for best levels to multiclass them...

KERRIDWEN - Bard (Female Human/True Neutral)
Official smooth tongue of the party, leader and diplomat.
I'm not going to multiclass her.
10 - 12 - 12 - 14 - 10 - 18
Courteous Magocracy, Lingering Song
Bluff: 6 / Conc: 3 / Dipl: 10 / Hide: 3
Intim: 6 / MoveS: 3 / Search: 2 / UseMD: 6

MORRIGAN - Warrior (Female Human/Legal Neutral)
Disciplined tank and muscle, she's all about fighting.
Probably I'll give her some Ranger levels.
18 - 16 - 16 - 10 - 8 - 8
Ambidexterity, Two Weapons Fighting, Strong Back
Conc: 3 / Hide: 4 / MoveS: 5

CUCHULANNE - Barbarian (Female Half Orc/Neutral Good)
Crazy tanker and muscle, same as above.
No Multiclassig her either...
20 - 16 - 14 - 8 - 8 - 8
Strong Back
Hide/MoveS: 4

GWYDION - Druid (Male Human/True Neutral)
The Hippie guy, healer and defensor, I luv druids!
I'll probably give him Monk levels too.
12 - 14 - 12 - 10 - 18 - 10
Dodge, Crossbow
AnEmp: 4 / Conc: 3 / Hide: 2 / WLore: 8

LUGH - Rogue (Male Halfling/Chaotic Good)
Prolly give him Ranger or Fighter levels.
12 - 18 - 12 - 16 - 10 - 8
Precise Shot
DDevice: 7 / Hide: 8 / Moves: 12 / UseMD: 3
OLock: 8 / PPocket: 8 / Search: 7

NEMETONA - Mage (Female MoonElf/Good Neutral)
10 - 14 - 14 - 18 - 10 - 10

You really like human dont you.

I suggest you make your druid an Aasimar for the WIS bonus(and then max it out for 20 WIS).

Your Bard a Drow for INT, CHA and DEX bonus all 3 of which are very important for Bards and the magic resistance of a drow is very helpful.

Make your Rogue a Tiefling and then put DEX to 20 as tieflings are much better than halfling.

Finally when you say warrior i am guessing you mean fighter in which case i suggest you choose shield dwarf so you can get 20 CON also i suggest you make her LAWFULL(its not legal) GOOD (not neutral its pointless) so that she can multiclass to 2 levels of paladin for the immunities and so she has the ability to use the holy avenger sword only useable by paladins. Also scrap the ranger idea unless you want to get it for the free two weapon fighting/ambidexterity but you should just take the feats and use heavy armor.

You said you wanted your druid to have some monk levels?
If you are indeed going to do so he must be of lawful aligment,
as it says in your manual"monks must be of lawful alignment".

After that is said i would NEVER take the strong back feat for a fighter, after a while you wont have to worry about carring weight for someone strong, if i was ever going to give it to somebody it would be a rouge. My rouges always end up getting weapon finesse and end up carrying nothing.

If you are going to multiclass the rouge, dual to ranger at 2nd to get the dual-wielding. After that do as you please(stick to rouge)

My rouges end up as tanks round chapter 4, keep in mind that at higher level they are good melee fighters(cast improved invis. on the )

Never played with a bard so i'm going to stop here

Good Luck

Morrigan will probably use plates, so dex. points are wasted, put them to Con. and Wis., also drop int., figthers don't need a lot of skill and being human youll have 2 points/lev even with no int.: 18-10(12)-18-8(6)-12-8

Cuchulanne: drop some Char. (halforc aren't appreciated among other fellows) and int. and raise Con./wis: 20/16(14)/18/6/10/4(6)
I agreed to choose a dwarf for the role, and better have a dwarf cleric of tempus.

Think of having a Sorc. instead of the mage, and make your thief a mage/thief
