it's great that scottg took the time to write down recommendations for new players. and it's also great that so many people are contributing corrections and suggestions.

probably the hardest thing to edit, with regard to this document, is those things that are errors or omissions vs those things that are style choices. magic resistance built from items and magic screen vs. from shield spells is clearly one of these. another would be armour class vs. damage resistance.

perhaps the best thing to keep in mind, whether you are a new player or an experienced player, is that this is one person's recommendations on how to develop a survivable party. it works.

it's only once players get past the survivability issue, then experimenting with style can begin in earnest. i'd like to see more people recommend their own style tweaks to scottg's post.

perhaps we need a "style" thread, where we can compile such variations as EEW's all magic parties, CT's hybrid-magic parties, my all-speed (and no speed!) parties, etc. by including party development recommendations, it could be a veritable encyclopedia for players just getting past the newbie stage looking for ideas and recommendations.
