Lol. I always stick assiduously to an alignment, I've even managed to play CN without vacillating (which is sort of against the whole idea of CN, but oh well). I never found pallies that bad at ranged combat in bg - I seem to recall it being a bit imba in favour of a ranged fighter but a ranger or pallie similarly equipped wasn't that bad. Lack of spells might be a problem, I grant you, though defensive spellcasting was not nearly as important in bgI as in bgII. But six pallies can easily match the healing power of a cleric, in any format at any level, and
Yes, only one (very annoying) pc pallie in bg (Ajantis), and only one in bgII (Keldorn, unless you count Mazzy, on whom I modeled a halfling f/c later on, who is now my main dungeons and dragons character) but I was thinking multiplayer. Aforementioned roomie and I were going to go through bgII this summer as Piro and Largo from megatokyo. I hope he's still up for it...
