1. Suit yourself with no greataxe, I was only showing you the best way possible, its your decision

After 4 levels of fighter, you could give your dwarf barb levels to make him a better tank.

2. A good choice with no wizard for identify, though I'd have gone with Lathander. 4 levels of fighter is a possibility. I don't give clerics too much charisma, as it only affects Turn Undead, which is next to useless.

3. Goody [img]smile.gif[/img] Though I don't use druids often, this guy will be nice. 2 priests will be a nice asset.

4. Double goody [img]smile.gif[/img]

5. As your only arcane caster, I'd go with a wizard for all spells.

6. I'd have gone with Helm so as to add 4 levels of fighter later if wanted.

Edit:
If you are going for only the normal game, then disregard all of my advice except for your dwarf. If you plan on HoF, then you really should consider this. A sorceror is very powerful, but I gurantee that you will be missing spells in HoF. With a wizard you will have slightly less spells, though you said you only use them in emergencies. The wizard will allow you to have spells for all occasions, including identify, allowing you to replace your priest with Lathander for just as much healing and fire spells(making losing the sorceror not to bad)

Option 1

priest- identifier, healer, buffer
sorceror- heavy artillery

Option 2 [img]smile.gif[/img]

priest- back up tank, healer, artillery, buffer
wizard- artillery, buffer, tank (true!), anything-er

Your choice
