Gimli, go with what you want from an RP standpoint. Losing yourself in the game is all that counts. Combat challenges are not too difficult in W&W (compared, let's say, to Wiz8 etc.), so any good party mix will do, as long as you have most of the bases covered (fighters, healer, spell-heaver, burglar). I like playing rangers for RP reasons, so I always have one as my alter ego, even in games where rangers aren't the best choice of class (W&W is somewhat of an example...).

You can always go wild on your second playthrough!
