    This is a challenge open up to those who perhaps do not have the time or inclination to help out in either modding or testing but who do know how to create a good character. I'm asking for help because I know I'm not very good at this kind of thing :)

    I need a party of 8 characters creating. They must be able to fit into a neutral good party. They must be rules compliant and ideally be equipped level appropriately. Ideally, I'd like the party composition to consist of at maximum 3 pure spell casters (this is because the game isn't very good at using spell casters properly).

    I need the character builds at level 5, level 7 and level 10.

    8 of any character builds put forward will at some stage be put into a mod I'm making. If you wish to add personality to these characters with notes on background, ways of speaking, then that will be included as best as I can too.

    Create as many characters as you want - 1 is fine, 8 is fine :)

    Wait, so, are you looking for a coherent party with its own backstory, or just a bunch of people you can drop into play?

    Well, I figured it would be too much to ask for a whole party created that way. So if I get people to focus on the individuals then I can then combine them into a party and do the work myself on integrating them coherently.

    I know it's a little bit backwards but once characters start to come in then I can try to 'guide' which types of characters I am missing and could do with building. ;) Ideally, I'd like to have a lot of characters to choose 8 from and integrate them sensibly. Any spares can then be used as future NPCs. Waste not, want not.

    Does that make sense?

    I have some ideas already, but what would be the general alignment of the party? It would be rather useless to post say a Paladin for a party meant to fill the role of bad guys.

    The party alignment is Neutral Good as it says in the OP :)

    So lawful good, neutral good, chaotic good and true neutral characters are all acceptable.

    I have a speadsheet of seven characters that would fit into this scheme. Do you want me to send it to you?

    These were characters I had created as a party to play ToEE. They are based on charactes I actually played as a kid back in the 1st edition days (early '80s). The focus for these cahracters was more about hack and slash and less about role playing (other than basic alignment-based behavior -- e.g, should we execute these captured enemies?). So, I don't have any personality information included.

    The spreadsheet shows the characters from levels 1 through 10 with ability score increases, feat selections, expected weapons and armor, etc. Not shown are skill selections or spell choices -- I could add those if you need them.

    Note that by level 10, I had expected these charcaters to be pretty beefed up with crafted items (they would have even more than I list) since they were supposed to be winning the game.
