Well really, I'd rather keep it a surprise. I dropped Jan for Imoen.
Kept Anomen as a fighter/cleric, which is great because Jaheira really
takes the role of a fighter in my group but the added bonus of casting
fire elementals at will to ward off undead. Plus Anomen's turn undead
is great when I'm trying not to have my levels drained by wraiths. I
usually go after the shadows accidently and then the wraiths kick drain
some of my weaker level chars. Edwin as the wizard because he's really
proved himself in my group and playing style. And me and Minsc are the
butt-kickers. Minsc is weilding the talking sword and I have flail of
ages for the golems but mainly I'm using the sword that keeps healing
you with every hit, I forgot the name of it. It comes in handy because
my char is equiped with a mental protection shield, a regen ring and
that sword. Its perfect against mind flayers because they have no real
attacks beside their psy thing. So far it seems to be a pretty good
lineup. I got rid of yoshi because his fighting wasn't up to par with
what I needed and Minsc, Jaheira, me, and Anomen really take care of it
all while Edwin throws spells and Imoen has her offensive spells.

Oops, I left him, is that going to be a problem?
