I was going to bump up the last Lord of the Rings party thread but it is long (starts on 8/13/04). So, in the spirit of the Return of the King Extended Version coming out on video soon, I am trying a new party of 4:

Gimli, fighter dwarf, using axes only but perhaps shield with Beastslayer
Froda, rogue hobbit, female version for stamina
Legolas, ranger elf, building senses
Gandalf, bishop human (he can heal so not just mage)

I have left out Aragorn, Boromir, Sam, the elf queens, etc. But they could be in another 4-party of your choice. Or you can do 5 or 6. (You don't hear much about 5-parties).

They are lev 12 now and are pretty strong. Will probably go for Beastslayer for Gimli since it is one-handed and better than his ranger's axe. The Blades of Aesir may be his final one.

Froda is using thieves dagger and Bloodlust currently. I guess daggers only would be better. The stealth from her invisibility from the Ring is a stretch.

Gandalf, although not human, sure looks like one. I made him bishop instead of mage because he does do some healing. In the books he does blinding light, heal, probably some banish, and others I can't think of.

Let us know if you are currently playing one, or parties based on other books.

Edit: made Froda's sex consistent (that is not to say constant!)
