    Worf should definitely be a Half-orc berserker - way too big for a dwarf.

    Arwen – Elven Fighter/Cleric

    Hmmm... What about Elrond instead? It was only in the movie version of LotR that Arwen was anywhere near a combat situation (first movie). In the books she never got involved in any way. We know at least the Elrond was at a time a warrior, and we also know he has healing abilities, making him a bit better of a choice.

    I am currently playing this party, theme from R. A. Salvatores "Paths of Darkness" series:

    Jarlaxle: Elven Kensai (I know, other classes are better suited, but anyway...)
    Artemis Entreri: Human Assassin
    Rai'gy Bondalek: Elven Cleric/Mage
    Kimmuriel Oboldora: Elven Sorcerer

    I thought about that, but he's full Klingon, not half Klingon. And there's no full Orc in the game (inferior to a Half-orc anyway).

    I don't think Worf is a Berserker either. He's more controlled.

    I've started a "Record of Lodoss War" party (shouldn't be too far back if you want to search a page or two):

    Parn: Human Paladin
    Deetlit: Elf Fighter/Druid
    Ghim: Dwarf Berserker
    Slayn: Human Sorcerer (he and Ghim always walk next to each other)
    Etoh: Human Cleric of Lathander
    Woodchuck: Human Fighter>Thief

    The party is a pretty good and balanced one, but I got bored because there's no banter. I'll try this party in IWD sometime though.

    Actually, it makes him a perfect candidate for a non-chaotic (probably even lawful) Berserker. Most of the time, he's calm, cool, and controlled. But when he gets into combat...wham! Suddenly all that Klingon lust for battle comes raging out.

    Can't be a lawful Berserker though, unless y'all download the patch YOU made! :)

    (BTW, awesome job man!)

    Brettoni: Great book series. I haven't read it in years, and wonder if the Stormbringer books are even around anymore.

    Just rewatched Kill Bill Vols I & II: the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad would be interesting to play...except they'd probably all be just Kensais.

    On the other hand, how about this?:

    Stan - NG Fighter
    Kyle - LG Cleric of Jehovah
    Cartman - NE Sorcerer
    Kenny - NN Theif

    :D

    I did a Uma Thurman Bride character in my one and only full run through of BG2. Kensai / Thief.

    LMAO. Though it's spelled Thief. ;)

    I'd make some changes, though. For one, I'd put Kenny as a Beastmaster for two reasons:
    1. The rats that always seem to show up.
    2. Beasmasters patently suck, so he'll be dying a lot. Appropriate, no? :grin:

    And IIRC from the episode where they were playing LotR, Kyle is a paladin. Stan could be the cleric instead, as the prophet of the Scientologists. :shake: That still leaves us short a thief, though, so I'd consider adding some of the others, like maybe Butters or Tweak, since they were tried as replacements for Kenny after the "permanent" death in the movie (which has since been reversed, I believe).

    And the best thing about it is that you can get appropriate soundsets! There's already a Cartman soundset on this site, and anybody with a bad mic can make a Kenny soundset by holding their hand over their mouth. :shake:

    I am thinking about a Red Hot Chili Peppers party. All Bards of course and take Yoshimo through for the thief aspect.

    I ALWAYS misspell that word. Must be a mental block. :rolleyes:

    No kidding? There's really a Cartman soundset? That rocks!

    It's always been in the back of my mind that if I were ever to try making a mod, a South Park mod would be fairly easy. Portraits and soundbites are readily available online. Or even a Simpsons mod:

    Homer: NN Kensai (remember the Whacking Day episode?)
    Marge: LG Cleric (She'd choose her God over Homer)
    Bart: NE THIEF (Seems obvious)
    Lisa: CG Mage (She's smart and studious)
    Maggie: ?

    Well, Elle is definitely an assassin/fighter, what with the poison thing and all. On the other hand Bill and Budd can definitely not be kensais, since they use ranged weapons.

    And if you'd have Pai Mei in there instead of someone else, you'd definitely have a monk.

    About the Eddings party, I'd say

    Garion: Fighter/Sorcerer (with SK)
    Belgarath: Sorcerer (the thiefish part is not THAT big anymore)
    Polgara: Sorcerer
    Kheldar: Thief
    Barak: Berserker
    Mandorallen: Fighter
    Hettar: Ranger
    Durnik: Fighter

    If you include the Malloreon, I would add
    Zakath: Fighter
    Cyradis: Diviner
    Beldin: Sorceror (maybe, and it's a big maybe, Monk/Sorcerer with SK)
    Durnik: Fighter/Sorceror

    Surely you're not serious! Mandorallen's got "paladin" written all over him!

    I thought so too at first, but then again: He isn't a holy fighter. He isn't unusually devoted to any god, and he doesn't have any spell-like powers
