I'm going to start the game again with a new party one more time..

And this time my party will roxxors etc

I wouldnt call myself a CRPG vet, at least not to the standard of this board [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wizardy 8 is the first time I've played a Wizardy game. But, I have played games like most of the M&M games. So far M&M has been my fave for this sort of thing, but I'm becoming a real fan for the Wizardy system.

The thing is thou..my party seems slightly demented. I seem to have no useful spells. My priest in the middle cant do much at all in combat except casting bless and healing. Because healing is in the same realm as bless, my spell points run out after healing my tanks only twice. Along with his bullwhip that hardly ever hits, hes not that useful. The mages damage spells dont do much damage, and the only disabling spells he has is web, sonic boom and terror. My characters are all round level 8.

I have at least 4 spellbooks that I cant use because I already learnt those low level spells during level up? wastage?

Anyway, my question is, is my party a lost cause? If I start again it'll be with the same classes (Fight, Sam, Prie, Rang, Mage, Gag) cause I've been having fun with em. I'll have a look at some of the spiels at http://www.geocities.com/jandrall/ for guidence.

Any general tips on how I can make the party better? Should I just try and read up on how to develop magic users properly? My two melee fighters seem ok (my lizardman fighter and NPC valkerie are doing good dmg now). My samuri in the front often dies thou because of lowish HP's. I have tried to get him decked with decent armor but it hasnt helped much. (Hes the catlike class, "My body is injured but my mind is clear" forget what the class is called [img]tongue.gif[/img] )
