Hello all,

Sheesh! I thought that I chose an "interesting" party, but had no idea it was going to be this interesting. I am having a tough time making through a lot of the big battles (still in CH 1, just about to fight my way through the goblin warrens), at least one of my characters gets killed every time, no matter what I do (if not all of them). Here is what I have:

Fighter
Druid
Monk
Rogue--sneaky type
Sorceress
Lathander Priestess

They are all level 5. I think my problem is that I am using classes that I am not familiar with: Monk, Druid and a Sorceress. The monk in particular drives me crazy, he has the highest AC of the whole group (18 with no armor), a +17 to hit, and 5-12 damage, but he gets worked every time. He dies quicker than my 8-year-old niece would in the same situation. How long before he gets usable????

Do you have any strategies for me for the druid and sorceress? Right now I'm feeling a little constrained by the small variety of spells that the sorc can use.

I guess I chose classes that come to their full power only at later levels, but this is driving me caraaaaayyyyzeeeeee (crazy).

Thanks for listening to me complain,

Rankor
