Good party?

Could somebody with any expertise tell me how good this party is?

dwarf fighter/cleric
human ranger
gnome cleric/illusionist
human fighter
halfling thief
half-elf fighter/mage

 

i think any combonation can work, its just how you play the party. i can make a few suggestions though.

you may want to dual class or multi-class a thief, pure thieves tend to be useless, but you chose a good race for your thief. i always like to use a pure specialist mage, like a conjurer because specialists get extra spells per level and conjurers dont lose out on any good spells. i also like illusionists too, they dont miss out on too many spell, but there are a few good ones that they cant learn. you have a good amount of fighters as well, i usually use 4 fighter types. i say stick w/ what you are useing until you finish. you can always experiment next time through. thats just my opinion though.

 

My concern with this party is the three multis. Now, you're splitting up your XPs nine ways. Pretty slim pickin's, I think.

I think, in the long run, it's better to keep PC's "pure". A well-rounded group of specialists is better than a bunch of mediocrities.

 

I agree with Sminnis in that there are too many multis in your party. I think that using a small amount of multis is good because it gives you skills that you can't get in 6 "pure" non-multis. The only multis that I would use are cleric/mages, thief/mages or fighter/thiefs. Normal theives just aren't useful enough.

 

i gotta agree w/ the fact that you have too many 'multis', but they can be useful. for example my 3rd time through i am using 4 characters and 'multis' may come in handy:
Paladin
Fighter/Druid
Human Thief (dual-classed to a Conjurer)
and finally the interesting one:
Fighter/Mage/Cleric.
this last one was a tough choice, but i will see how it works out. i wanted to make sure everybody could fight if need be especially at the begining of the game.

 

get a gnomish fighter... u won't regret it
