I like the all gnome party. I also like party members that can multi-task
Can gnomes be bards? If they can, I would recommend adding one, as it was fun to play.
Is an all mage party practical? I know anything can be done, but I'm wondering how mages would take down something tough, like a mummy or spectral guard. How many summons can you have at once? That would be cool- an army of summons to walk ahead of you!
