Bungleau - right, I realize I could make them all stronger with more roles, but to me, from a RP point of view, a Warlock would wear robes and a Gourk Barbarian wouldn't cast spells. So long as I have all the skills I need covered by the party as a whole I'll be happy. Also it seems to me the characters would be bland if they could all do everything. I'm more of a roleplayer than a powergamer, but I want to at least know I won't be missing some vital skill or spell, or that W+W requires every character to have 8 roles, or else your party gets pounded. If I can beat the game without it being ridiculously hard then it's good enough for me power wise.

Willow - maybe the Samurai could become a Zenmaster eventually. I've seen alot of people make Priests into Monks, why is that so popular?

bsfcts - I do have a Pixie Priest planned, who would become a Warlock. As for the extra roles, the Priest could go Priest->Monk->Warlock; maybe the Whiskas Warrior->Samurai will then add ->Zenmaster. Not sure what I'd want to do with the Gourk Warrior->Barbarian, I see him as just being a brutish, hack and slash type; maybe switch to ->Ranger eventually? The Elf Wizard->Warlock could go to ->Bard before Warlock. Or maybe he could take a brief role as a Ranger and then to Warlock, for an Elf that doesn't offend my RP senses too much.

One other question about role limitations. If I were to switch say a Warrior to a Ranger, does it still limit the armor he can wear (since as a Warrior he had the ability to wear better armor)? What if I go Warrior->Ranger->Paladin for the sake of argument, does the Ranger armor limitation follow to the next role? Would a Priest->Paladin be able to use bladed weapons as another example of what I mean?
