well its more fun to have each of thier own unique character but we should exclude characters that dont rely on magical weapons at all such as stated already:
monks
wizards/socerer
shifter
i think priest and druids can be included becuase they are not really powerful in spells since they need weapons to complement themselves.
my 2c.
about multiplayer.. well whoever is in charge.. its up to you guys. perhaps a maximum of lvl 10 allowed for the monks/socs/shifter ?
another 2c
