I don['t want to pick your party apart with criticism as my intent. My intent is to help myself build a stronger party (so please don't be offended!).

Interesting! Do you feel like the ecl penalty has come back to bite this guy? I had created a monk human with the intent of having the character as a scout/decoy type, but I think this build is better. How did you set up your stats with him?

With that "how high a Wis in this game" line, do you think it's worth adding a single level of Monk to a druid build and taking advantage of that high wisdom? I know it's probably not an option with an elven druid, but I don't know which race I'll choose.

Coolness. Can I ask you how you distributed his stats? I'm looking for a similar character, but I think I'll boost his intelligence to the max and have him cover my rogue side too.

Does he have a level of rogue?
Do you feel like you're missing anything with only one wiz/sorc? I see a lot of "power parties" and they have tons of these types. Also, do you miss a paladin? What about tactics like squatting... have you ever had to do anything like that?
Sorry for rambling, I'm just very interested!~
