Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - 4-Manning Dominus: Party Build Help Requested

Endarire · 09-26-2008, 03:44 AM

Years ago I started a Wiz8 game with a full party and decided I'd be better off with a mere four characters. This time, I seek advice on party formation since I have only shaky ideas on what's optimal. This group will begin in the monestary using Dodd's 2.4.

-=THE CORE FOUR=-
Male Lizardman Fighter: Tank, idiot, tank! If I can do better, say so!
Female Elf or Fairy Bishop: Fairies get mana regen but last time I brought an elf and she seemingly worked well. Which do you recommend?
Female Human(?) Bard: Human worked well last time. My gadgeteer or she will handle identification. How can I improve on my race for bard?
Female Hobbit(?) Gadgeteer: She'll handle traps, locks, and perhaps identification. Perhaps a lizardman would be better, but I still ask for aid.

-=STATS QUESTIONS=-
Which stats and skills should I max first for each character? For my bishop, what spells should she learn from levels? I hate grinding and wish to avoid it as much as possible since grinding killed my love for this game the last time.
