The best combo I've found, and this is what I use in all D&D gaming situations and havd had great success is
2 Fighter types, preferably one Paladin and one either fighter or Ranger
1 Cleric (only one is needed with a Paladin 'cause the Paladin can help with healing chores)
2 Mages, 1 specialized and one all purpose
1 Theif
The presence of a theif cannot be overrated. I didn't used to believe this, but having a theif hide in shadows and scout ahead to take out big uglies one at a time has saved my bacon countless times!!
Also, I think it works best to have them be all human, and to dual all non mages over to mage at some point. That way, you wond up with a bunch of truly bad assed spell casters who can whallop ya with a two handed sword. You get my drift?
Good luck!!
