my advice...play with dwarves...make an all dwarf party...just because everyone else says they have weaknesses, we all really know that dwarves are the best race...but now that we've accomplished that...i would say wait until you've beaten the game to really go foreign with your classes...play through the game with a fighter, a pally, a cleric etc. and then after you've beaten it and are more familiar, you should make more elaborate classes, like Ranger/Thieves and Cleric/Barbarians (??).
