Ok, here we go:
1) LG Aasimar Fighter 4/ Paladin X 2) LG Human Monk X/ Cleric of Ilmater 1* 3) CG Shield Dwarf Battleguard of Tempus X 4) LG Human Sorcerer X/ Paladin 1* 5) LN Human Druid X/ Cleric of Bane 1** 6) CG Drow Rogue 1/Wizard X*** * -- I will add these single levels after reaching level 20 (or maybe a tad earlier, basically whenever I feel like I'm powerful enough) in the characters respective main-class. I value the Cleric multiclass a lot, because I understand death is all but unavoidable in Heart of Fury mode, and I would like to have characters be able to Raise or Resurrect my Battleguard of Tempus should she fall in battle with an item. An extra few CLW's never hurt either. ** -- I could add a single level of Monk on here, and will if I like fighting in shapeshifted form and plan on improving my fighting ability that way. I would probably wait until Heart of Fury mode for this add on. *** -- I could add a single level of Bard, and will if (and only if!!!) I find any items that only a Bard can use that I really like. I'm glad to have basically unhindered advancement with my main spellcasters (Cleric, Druid, and Sorcerer), and I think the Monk can be treated similarly (they really need every level they can get). Through some minor squatting with my Paladin, as well as the ECL penalties of having an Aasimar and a Drow in the party, I think I will advance slightly faster than the usual six-member party. I think this will be a lot of fun, and plan on finally sticking to this game. Thanks for reading this thread, all my other threads, and for your input in return. I look forward to your comments.

If you're willing to take another level hit to your wizard levels, you could go to lvl 2 rogue with the drow rogue/wizard. You get evasion at lvl 2, which combined with your spell resistance should make that character near-invulnerable to spells.
Similarly, you could add another paladin level to the pal/sorc to get divine courage (immunity to fear). Admittedly combining these two tweaks would slow down the level advancement of both of your divine casters if you do them before hitting lvl 20. I won't mention the roleplaying aspects of a Druid/Dreadmaster.

Seems like a solid party. The only thing left for me to say would be that you probably don't want to add that bard level. I mean, I can count bard only items on the fingers of one hand, and I can count the good ones without hands (IIRC there are none). Also, you'll be sacrificing your CHA anyway, so a bard level probably will not help you.
Correct me if I am wrong on the lack of good bard items. |

Well, like I said, I will only add that Bard level if I find anything I really like. With only 1 level, my CHA won't matter anyway.

I am not a fan of the second rogue level for evasion. You should be able to have all the skills you need with only one level of rogue, and evasion wont help too much with a mage i assume wont be in hth combat often or the target of many spells.
