What do you think would be the best 4-man team? Im planning on making a multiplayer game and taking 2 npc's to use if they have char specific quests. But I dont want to rely on the npc's that heavily. So what would be the best well-rounded 4-man team?

Thanks

IMHO, it would be Paladin, Ranger, Thief/Mage, and Mage/Cleric. Two fighters, two magic users, three with healing abilities, and the thief. Either that or four butt-kicking rangers with Boo Jrs. on board =-)

I'd make a thief, dual class it to mage once you have 95% in find traps and pick locks(immediately in other words). You need those high level spells!
I'd probably make the party
Ranger-dualed-to cleric at level 8 or 9
Paladin
Thief-dualed-to mage

That's all you need. Maybe throw in a blade or some other bard as your secondary caster (and to make you money pickpocketing)

UNDEAD HUNTER (Human)

ASSASSIN (Elf)

TOTEMIC DRIUD (Human)

JESTER (Half Elf)

Novel classes. Main character immune to level drain. You can confound enemies and make money pickpocketing. You have a healer and mage disruptor, an offensive caster, a spy/silent killer, and the Tot Druid can summon another powerful tank for you.

Jester on longbow/longsword, Assassin on shortbow/katana. Undead Hunter on 2h swd/mace (of disruption), druid on spears/slings/staffs.
