New Player & Party

[Bear de Williams]

Well i am new to the game and have only been playing for the past 2 weeks off and on but sometimes ill get a chance to play it for a good hour or 2. But to my questions before i get to far is: Is my party decent? Going the right way? and the usual any good advice?

Williams, Party of 8

Cross: lvl 10
Dracon Fighter
Wep:Bloodlust (cursed)
Heatershield

Mindy: lvl 10
Dwarf Valk.
Wep:Awl pike

Jake: lvl 10
Human Monk
Wep: Hands/Feet

Shifty: lvl 10
Hobbit Rogue (whoda thunk)
wep:2x Poison Daggers (cursed)

Bear: lvl 10
Mook Ranger
Wep:Hvy Crossbow

Kristie: lvl 10

Of course i have Vi and Myles with me, which is another question should i drop Myles for the Robot or for another NPC, also i am headed to Trynton, also check out the cemetary. And that Rattus Rattus guy should i just not do the quest and kill him or do the bank robbery and kill Lorrac and abunch of other people. Any Suggestions about Travel, Weps, NPC's, All of that is welcomed

WELCOME!
You don't need any RPC's. Your party is fine.
Kill both Rattus and Lorrac, but if you can, pick their pockets first!
If you're a little overwhelmed by the size of the tips thread above, start at the end of it and page back through it. Usually the most recent advice is more useful. And there's probably a thread in here somewhere about any question you could ask, so if nobody responds helpfully if you open another thread, use the Search!
Have fun!

Welcome Williams,
The party looks good to me, I would be tempted to give your fighter another of the Poison Dagger as Bloodlust is also cursed.
If you feel you want/need the RPC's keep them, they are a good way to test classes, for example if you take Saxx with you, you can see how a bard works.
I would drop Myles as you have Shifty.
Good luck

I'd give bloodlust to the rogue. The fighter can berserk for double damage with any weapon, and also use a bow in combination with other weapons.

Welcom to the the best RPG ever, you will replay this over and over. I've had it for two years and am more excited to play now than ever. By the way I wore my first copy out and hade to re-buy it. You may want to go back to arnika and buy at least one thieves Dagger from anton they are pretty expensive, but Wow! Also you have plenty of melee people with the monk, thief, and fighter you may want to drop the dwarf and pick up a gadgeteer or bard there are so many items for them in the game. However the great thing about this game is you can roll play, it is so diverse from one party to the next. Have fun!

My only note would be that with no mage spell type character (Samurai, Mage, Bishop ) you don't have the "Missile Shield" or "Enchanted Blade" spells.

You may want to switch the priest over to bishop or mage to get those two spells.

But there are scrolls. I used them with my pure fighter party. (And they are Cosmic Lords now )

P.S.
Where are my manners ? Welcome !

[Scatter]

Yah, Scrolls become quite important to a no-magic party; most games i sell them all, but 2 Fighters and a Rogue are kinda stuck without them. Oh, and lots of Artifacts Skill, too.

[Bear de Williams]

Wow, thanks for the wonderful welcome and excellent advice! I think i might have to try out Saxx when i get to him and a gadgeteer. But i think i will get back to the game for now!

You'll find a RPC (recruitable player character) who's a Gadgeteer in Upper Trynton, but honestly, with six characters in your party, there's really no need for a RPC, bedides they take XP away from your players (XP earnt from battle is divided equally to ALL party members) and you'll be playing many games Wiz8, so don't try to play all professions at once, just create another party later with those missed professions!
