I wonder, has anyone ever played the more or less classic storybook party:
Cavalier, for the righteous leader,
a Dwarven Berserker with an axe who likes his ale
,
the wise Elven Archer who knows his way around woods,
a Cleric of choice for the backup spells,
a sneeky Halfing Thief(or assasin not sure),
and last but not least, a wise and powerfull mage.
With this party you'd have all the bases covered and I think it would be pretty cool to play.
