BeatriceElysia: Drow bard with hight cha and int, and alchemy skill
duergar dreadmaster of bane
Aasimar paladin of ilmater/sorcerer
All these level adjusted races are going to be nasty, the Paladin especially. I ran a Paladin/Sorcerer in an IWD2 playthrough and it always felt like it was trailing behind the rest of the party, and that was with a human.
BeatriceElysia: halfling rogue/trasmuter
Based on my experience, the Rogue level is unnecessary. Just stick with the Transmuter. Wizards will have a massive intelligence bonus, which applies to rogue skills and largely eliminates the need to have any levels in the rogue class at all. Given how weak Rogues are in IWD2 (for whatever reason, the class was nerfed from the D&D rules and sneak attack is practically useless) I'd actually say the class should be ignored entirely.
BeatriceElysia: half-orc barbarian/fighter with high str and con
Pretty standard combo, and for very good reason. It's one of the most powerful race/class combos you can get in IWD2. This guy will be doing the heavy lifting for the party.
BeatriceElysia: Human monk/druid or Deep gnome pure monk...
The others have already covered this well, but I'll reiterate that Monk is a very finicky class. Its fighting style is incredibly low-damage, making it dependent on having a very high strength score to be functional.
