What ever characters you choose, be sure to include a preserver, cleric
and thief. Multi-class when you can, but I have played the game through a
couple of times and I find having a half-giant Gladiator makes life easier
for your party.

Don't touch the Thri-Kreen as they can't wear armour. 

My last party consisted of a Half-Giant Gladiator, a Mul (or any other
strong race) fighter/cleric, an Elf Fighter/Preserver/Thief and a Dwarf
Fighter/Psionicist. I've also used parties with combinations of the above. 

Most dual class characters will be at level 10 (highest) by the end of the
game. 

Have fun.
