Unconventional Parties

Technik4 · Sep 19, 2003

I'm thinking of ideas for the upcoming Temple of Elemental Evil CRPG and I want a party that doesnt have anything remotely "iconic" to it. I do want all the roles filled meaning:

1 person who can do locks/traps/search
1 person who can do arcane magic
1 person who can do divine magic
1 person who can tank

The game only goes to level 10, which should be taken into account. If you don't have any particular advice, how about naming some unconventional parties (or just a character) you've played/played with.

So far:

1 Dwarf Rogue (Wulf

)
1 Gnome Fighter/Barbarian
1 Half-orc bard or sorceror

But none of that is even set in stone. Anything humans do seems "iconic", they are the do-anything race and I'm suffering from the same problem with elves and half-elves. I wouldnt mind more of what I've got, or something more unconventional so let the replies begin!

I had a very unconventional group that had two humans (bard and monk) and two half orcs (barbarian and druid). We found that it worked for a well balanced group.

Some other things Im debating:

Dwarf Wizard
Dwarf Sorceror

Elf Fighter
Elf Barbarian

Gnome Monk
Gnome Cleric

Halfling Mnk/Drd
Halfling Brb

Half-Orc Anything besides Barbarian or Fighter

Any good mixes and matches, esp 10-level builds?

Unconventional parties huh?

Elf wizard Rog 1/Wizard 9 max search and disable device cross-class. He's your traps man.

Halfling Paladin 10 He's your tank. Give him a small bastard sword, small heavy shield, and mithral fullplate (if you can get it) and he can keep his AC pretty high. With a low strength, he won't crank out the damage but you've others for that.

Half-orc Cleric 10 Healer and backup tank. If you want more hitting power, give him a level of barbarian and he'll really be able to step up to the plate.

Well, that's all the roles you wanted filled and we've got two more characters to go:

Halfling Pal/Rogue. The other paladin's brother or sister. Just as dedicated to smiting evil but tends to do so from the back with a dagger instead of from the front. Has enough ranks in disable device to assist the rogue/wizard but not enough to do it himself.

Human Bard: Backup tank. Backup arcanist. Backup Healer.
