Does your Barbarian Cleric idea fit this WS? If it's Barb first, we're going to need to think about healing; if it's cleric first then if you change to Barb later we're putting a lot of weight on your shoulders and if you go down, then there goes our healing too.What else have we not covered? Is a rogue essential? They tend to be somewhat squishy at low levels which would mean 3/4 of the party aren't worth a handful of boiled snow if we get stuck doing room clearance in an underground complex. Can a single level dip from someone later get us what we need (ie trapfinding, as that's the only way we will get it)? Do we need someone with social skills? If yes, then we've got limited class choices if we want someone to be good at it, and none of the PCs proposed thusfar look good on that front. Is another front line fighter necessary given Errandir isn't going to want to be toeing it out, and if Gandalf's ranger has put all his feats into shooting he may not be much use in a hand to hand situation? Essentially, are the characters proposed so far really the best mix we can come up with to get the job done?And that's before we come to party background... Anybody got any thoughts on that front?</blockquote>
