What do you mean, haven't rested? Your party still bears wounds from defending Targos and your mages haven't had a break yet this game? If so, wow, though I think you mean something else.

The party looks good, though will die to a swarm of powerful enemies. Make sure to give your monk lots of armor boosting items. I know you don't like multi classing, but (assuming they are human) adding four levels of fighter onto your cleric and druid, or just one of them, will make them very nice tanks. In fact, I've fount that a straight dwarven fighter is only slightly more powerful than a human fighter4/cleric, and the cleric gets spell. just make sure that the cleric has reasonable stat points, or this may be a waste.

You bard looks rather pointless. Bards are useful for melee parties, and don't have much of a point here. You have no thief, which is a problem for later in the game. A straight thief or even a half thief may be a waste of thieving ability, as locks are easy in this game. a powerful character that I concieved is:

Drow thief1/magex

STR 11
DEX 20
CON 16
INT 20
WIS 10
CHA 5

The initial thief level, plus 20 in DEX and INT, gives all the thieving ability that you need for the game (carry around potions of master thievery, just in case). Once you multi-class over, your drow mage will be very powerful and can stealth. However, this may not be the best choice for aa party of 6, as Drow have a heavy xp penalty.

I don't think this merits a spoiler but just in case:

~

There MIGHT be a certain sword that MIGHT be only for paladins and MIGHT rule the world, especially on HoF

~

end spoiler

I personally don't like druids, and I would use a paladin or fighter/paladin in that slot, but thats your choice.

In conclusion, you don't have to folow my little rant, though I think you will be happier if you at least try some of my advice. Good luck!
