Hi pplz!
I thought it would be interesting to start a party and have it consist of characters from the Wheel of Time novels by Robert Jordan. Now i have some ideas as to character classes for the party but i still require some assistance.

*Rand - Kensai/Mage: proficiencies in Katana (or is it a Two Handed sword) as the Callandor, Longbows
*Mat - ???, proficiencies in Daggers, Quarterstaffs or Spears
*Perrin - ???(could be beastmaster but cannot use metal weapons, proficiencies in Axes, Warhammers
*Lan - Ranger, grand master in 2 Handed Swords, proficiencies in 2 HS, 2 Handed style, wearing cloak of displacement (warder cloak)
*Elayne - Mage , ???
*Nynaeve - Cleric,???
*Egwene - Mage,???
*Aviendha - fighter/mage, spears

Any other ideas would be appreciated!!
Thanks!

matt- thief turned fighter.

Perrin- ranger

All the Aes Sedai are basically Cleric/Mage combos...

I think depending on the Ajah, i.e.

Green=fighter\mage
yellow=cleric\mage

Mat: Thief/fighter Prof's in spear/quarter staff/dagger
Rand: Kensai/mage(good call) prof's in single weapon style and long sword
Perrin:Ranger axe and hammer/ single weapon
Elayne:Mage
Egwene: Mage dualed to Cleric

Does that sound good?

This is a cool thread...interesting concept, playing one game with characters from a totally different basis (Forgotten Realms w/ chars from Wheel of Time).

I would have to disagree with the choice of class for Lan, however. I feel that he would be a better fit for the Paladin/Undead Hunter category than as a ranger. He has the ability to detect shadowspawn approching (detect evil) and has immunities to some of their techniques (eg, the hypnotic assault of the Draghkar, good example for protection from evil along with immunity to being held).

Greystone: I suggested Lan as a Ranger because he has large knowledge of the countryside and the wilderness(seen in Eye of the World).

The characters look good. But i am still unsure as to what weapon Rand is wielding. I thought that he would be wielding either a long sword or Katana, but since Lan trained him in the use of the blade i think he might possibly use 2 handed swords.
Any ideas?

Thinking on that, I agree, Two-handed sword, with Proficiency in sigle weapon and 2-handed sword.

I think what we need to do is come up with a ranger kits for Warders, what do you think?

the knowledge of the world is more book knowledge than anything else. I'd fit them more in the paladin mold myself...

Lan has to be a Paladin as Greystone says. But then again, he has the abilitly to "blend" into his envioroment very well... tough call.

Friends, the Heron-marked sword is a katana. Nothing else, so Lan/Rand must be Grand in those.

Lan can't be a paladin, he isn't that Lawfull good I think. A mix between Chaotic good and Lawful Neutral fits him the best.

Does anyone have any ideas for Padan fain?
