2 2nd lvl Dwarf Characters

[orgplay]

which classes should i make them?

we already have:
ranger/rogue
wizard
fighter
cleric
barbarian
druid

what's a killer combo?
socerer
barbarian

enlarge + rage.
i dunno. suggestions?

 

[the_mighty_agrippa]

Sorcerer is sub-optimal for a dwarf.

Maybe Duskblade and Dragon Shaman. With a party of that size, Dragon Shaman really hits on all cylinders.

 

[orgplay]

well i could go Dream Dwarf for the sorcerer.

dragon shaman you say?

 

[Mistwell]

You have no real rogue, and could use another front line fighter type.

I agree that a Dragon Shaman would help.

A bard wouldn't hurt.

A second cleric never hurts.

 

[Darklone]

How long do you expect the game to go? E.g. to which level?

I like dwarven Psywarriors or psions. Expansion tops Enlarge Person.

Traditional dwarves go fighter/cleric. Ftr/Rog a la Wulf Ratbane rocks as well. A scout as damagedealer and trapspringer is great too, perhaps with one or two barbarian levels.

 

[szilard]

I'd suggest Beguiler.

It would shore up the skills-weakness of the group and provide you with a dedicated utility caster.

[orgplay]

these little guys will play every other week or so, whenever the players from the high-lvl game can't make a full game.

psionics are probably out. i'm gonna ask to use these new base classes. not sure what the response will be. but dragon shaman looks cool. probably right about the cleric.

how does this look?

 

[smootrk]

Dwarven Sorcerer with that feat that allows CON to sub for CHA for a few Sorcerer functions (name escapes me at the moment).

Dwarven Archivist (Heroes of Horror or freely on WotC website). Semi-cleric, semi-utility caster.

Dwarven Wizard with a slant towards Rune Magic, and some optional flavor twists to runic type items (as detailed in Complete Arcane and elsewhere - potions in other forms, stone tablet scrolls, etc).

or simply bring a Dwarf Warrior type making efforts to take fighting styles that differ from the other fighter types in your party.

 

[Quartz]

Cleric and bard.

You've a large party and only one healer. And the Bard will boost the rest of the party.
