On my first playthrough I had the same party, expect I let Khalid die and then switched a lot of characters to fill the sixth spot until I found Yeslick Orothair. I felt bad for Jaheira, but the result was the same anyway.

If you want another good party for the game, you could switch Minsc for Coran or Kivan, perhaps Dynaheir for Xan or Quayle, although they are usually seen as annoying.The only replacement for Jaheira is Faldorn, unless your character is an cleric/ranger or a druid.

Or perhaps make a party of malevolent and benevolent characters and simply recruit the best characters or the ones you like. Perhaps a party of misfits and and "failures", like Garrick and Xan and some others.

For a evil party, you could keep Xzar and Montaron from beginning till their business is done, and perhaps pick Viconia DeVir, Edwin and Shar-Teel Dosan, You can reserve your sixth spot for perhaps a lunatic.

Here are my suggestions, I hope you consider them.
