In the Palace of Ice campaign, you can start with new level ten characters plus some extra gear that’s weak, or import a save that completed the main campaign (recommended) or import any other save (Valley of the Lost has some really cool loot). You could import a save and change 1, 2, or 3 characters. I choose to reload a save from right before the end of a campaign, transfer all my gear off my ranger, and over to Belf. Then I created a Tiefling Warlock, as the Infernal language is likely to be useful. I reloaded the game and moved anything useful back to the Warlock, and sold the rest. The one thing you can’t do is mix and match imported heroes, which is disappointing. Imported heroes also get the weak gear on top of pre-existing gear.
Some tips:
-Pack torches
-Speak Elvish and Draconic.
-The Investigation skill is useful.
-Protection from poison, spell, racial bonus, or items are nice for some demons.
-Rangers should have favored enemy: Fiends
-You'll want restorative ointment or paladin’s cure disease power.

We will be importing or recreating Belf, but this time, he’ll be going to level 16. Make sure to prepare to create food, as we no longer have a ranger, druid, or green mage.
Level sixteen - Feat: Eager for battle
Given the types of creatures in Place of Ice, we’ll want a paladin; you can import our first one, but here’s the stats for a new one. As he’ll be smiting most of the time, he could use a shield instead of two-handed.
Race Half-Elf
Standard array: STR 16, DEX 10, CON 14, INT 8, Wis 12, Cha 16
My array: STR 19, DEX 10, CON 15, INT 8, Wis 12, Cha 18

Spend your spells on smiting, or when you can’t reach a foe, cast scorching ray or fireball. Branding Smite is nice, too. Blind creatures you think might have darkvision.
As I mentioned, I replaced a ranger with a Tiefling Warlock, using a race new to Place of ice and the class from Inner Strength. If you didn’t get Inner strength, stick with ranger.
