Just thought i'd start a thread about tiny little wee parties, just so a few of us minimalists can share our findings...
My first smaller party was 4, imported from W-7 with many goodies, most importantly, Spellbooks, which meant i could Charm Burz until i maxxed Psi, and other similar feats, and they finished easily.
Hobbit Bishop Faerie Ninja Rawulf Lord Gnome Monk.
Now i'm working with 2 different sets of 3. I like 3, from the formation (all in the middle) to the compromise between high XP and enough damage-to-mobs.
The most recent start is my favorite by far:
Mook Ranger
Mook Bard(-to Fighter at L8)
Rawulf Lord
The other one is:
Felpurr Bard (-to Fighter at L11)
Mook Ranger
Mook Gad (-to Fighter at L11)
I'm pretty sure i won't finish the trio with the Gad, i'm just not pleased with the lack of practise opportunities. I'm gonna go at least till she can make Tripleshooters; i'm inclined to believe i'll actually settle for the Doubleshooters i can get Madras to make. Which was the only reason i wanted a Gad anyway.
As much fun as it was to rotate through all the Realms' Group Instakiller spells, i can make the Fighter and Lord almost impossible to hit and the Ranger very close behind, where the Bishop's AC trails miserably. That is, in fact, what i pared down from my parties of 4.
In both cases, i guess it's pretty clear i'm hooked on the Giant's Sword idea. I can't wait til i get a couple of'm.
I'm switching the Bard, i've done this before and by the end of the game the ex-Bard Fighters have all done much more Berzerk damage than the Bards i've had stay Bard and use offensive Instruments. Even without Light Sword. (If it weren't for Heal-All, the one in the latter party would go at L8, too.) I'm also doing without my otherwise everpresent Faerie Ninja, all my finishes so far have had her...except the solo Liz Ranger.
I'd like to read about anybody else's experience with their favorite smaller parties!
