Character 1:
Shield Dwarf
Fighter 4/ Barbarian X
Role: Tank

Character 2:
Aasimar
Fighter 4/ Paladin of Helm X
Role: Tank, talker

***Both good tanks

Character 3:
Human, Tiefling or Halfling (haven't decided yet)
Rogue 2/ Bard X
Role: Thief-type, will sing and handle quest rewards. Archer in combat.

***If you want a talked (which is good, with the bard skills), don't go tiefling-they get a penalty to charisma. Halfling won't be bad, though you can always go human too. Nothing wrong with humans, and they get the extra feat.

Character 4:
Human
Paladin 1/ Sorcerer X
Role: Spellcaster, artillery. I know the Paladin level takes away from the spellcasting, but Divine Grace is too good to ignore. The one level dip should hurt too bad in the end.

***No problem there.

Character 5:
Shield Dwarf
Cleric; Battleguard of Tempus X
Role: Cleric! The free Weapon Focus feat will allow me to treat this character as a tank as well when needed. I like the Power Word spells on the higher levels a lot.

***Good. There will be times when you need the extra tanks, especially when the enemy is numerous. A side note-I would put this character and character 6 in the 3 and 4 character slots. This is because the last two slots tend to get hit the least, overall, and, as you've probably noticed, clerics and druids make fair tanks.

Character 6:
Wild Elf
Druid X
Role: Druid! I was going to go Drow originally here, but I think I'm better off being a more powerful spellcaster. I chose Elf because I like the idea of having this character double as an archer for my party.

***Hmmm...wild elf is an odd choice, but feel free to run with it. The game is all about having fun, imho. Now if you want a stronger choice, you might go either drow (for the killer bonuses, including the bows proficiency) or human (for the extra feat, and extra skill points)

That said, you're party's fine. May you slay every orc you meet, and never fall victum to IRS (Infinite Restart Syndrome).
