Has anyone challenged himself or herself (especially in HoF mode) by playing a 6-pack of off-the-wall multi-class characters (or a specialist mage such as a Necromancer)? A challenging multi-class character might be a Gnome Cleric/Thief--the 17 Wisdom maximum would make you think twice as to which spells you would need to keep on hand! I might try this after I finish the game with my super party (you know...the party that could practically destroy a god).

I don't think that there is any character that hasn't been tried at some point.

My party in HoF were:
Paladin
Ranger/Cleric
Ranger
Fighter/Druid
Fighter/Mage
Fighter/Mage/Thief

The hardest party I ever did was a three person party where everyone tired to do as many things as posible.
Fighter/Cleric
Magic User/Thief
Figher/Druid

I never quite had enough power for the hard battles it seemed. In particular, Dragons Eye was a total pain in the butt.

I would not call that an odd HoF party
Mine are generlly the following.

Warrior
Warrior
Fighter/Druid
Warrior/Cleric
Magic User/Thief
Bard

Warrior = Fighter or Paladin
Warrior/Cleric = Fighter/Cleric or Ranger/Cleric

I've gone without the Bard once, kinda missed him, but a pure Magic User might be better.

Anyway, I would say 4 or 5 of our guys are really similar.

I like pure classes mine are

Fighter (human)
Fighter (Dwarf)
Druid (Half Elf (i think))
Thief (Elf)
Cleric (good)
Illusionist (Gnome)

Interesting! I found my three party group to be the better number to take in a party. That or 4. 6 being to many and 2 not enough. Although when I go with 5 or 6 I usually have a bard in the mix.

My three party was
Fighter/Theif
Fighter/Druid
Fighter/Mage (dualed at level 6 to Mage)

I guess the difference was I kind of had three fighters as opposed to two for most of the game.
