Just to let you know...I've started a new party myself (after taking a breather for a while.) Here's the makeup:
Daegen => Human Male Warrior (he's the one I rolled the 95 on!), ascended to Paladin.
Gruftyr => Dwarf Male Warrior, ascended to Barbarian
Tamerin => Elf Male Warrior, ascended to Ranger
Tzihra => Whiskah Female Priest, plan to ascend to Paladin eventually
Sanjay => Omphaaz Male Wizard, plan to ascend to Warlock eventually
Jeroboa => Rattkin Male Wizard, plan to ascend to Bard, then Assassin eventually.
I'm already having a blast with this setup...it's hilarious seeing a rat in robes and a big purple picture hat running around (hippie rat!). I've also never played an Omphaaz before, so I'm trying him out...so far so good, and I'm really liking the Elf! It's a new twist for me; playing an almost non-human party. I still wanted a human in there for the "Natural Leader" trait to give the rest that added "umph" on their attacks.
Like I said in my above post...play races for the fun of it, not stat-grubbing. With a little rolling, you should get easy-to-maintain characters, even at the beginning. Of course, I've been through it (a few times!) so I sort of know what to expect...that does make it a little easier.
