Hey LR, do you have any preference among the following concepts?

Cleric/Fighter (maybe Paladin), using the Divine feats(Complete warrior).
A Very angry Barbarian with Extra Rage(Comp.Warrior).
Draconic(+1LA, Races of Dragon)1/2 Ogre(+1LA, Savage Species) Fighter, eventually becoming an Exotic Weapons master(Complete Warrior).
Warmage(CompArcane).
Favoured Soul(CompDivine).

I've got basic background/conept for each of them, but don't know which to stat up (I always have that problem, I've got so many char's swimming around my head I don't know which to focus on). Are there any in particular you think would fit better with the party?

How about the current party members? Do any of you have a preference?

A paladin could struggle in a free-thinking party (Only one Lawful character so far).

There is already one cleric aiming to be a cleric/fighter, but it could work.

Barbarians are ALWAYS useful to have around in a tight situation.

A draconic half-ogre fighter would be on par with the Barbarian and certainly something 'different'.

Warmages are fun, but limited (even more so than sorcerors).

Favoured Souls I have no experience with so I won't judge.

I do note that the party (following the loss of the Scout) no longer has any trap-dealing abilities, ie no Rogue. Maybe a fighter/rogue combination? (maybe I should take that?)

 

[Rhun]

Cleric/Fighter (maybe Paladin), using the Divine feats(Complete warrior).

My only problem with this concept is that he may step on Thodan's toes. Not if he is a paladin, but simply a Cleric/Warrior, as Thodan is a cleric of Tempus (the Lord of Battles). He is a front line cleric, not a healer.

The other concepts all sound pretty nice, though.

paladins only struggle if the player doesn't know how to run them. A Paladin in a chaotic party can be an awesome Roleplaying experience. (I've been on both sides for that one, Paladin AND other guy)

There is already one cleric aiming to be a cleric/fighter, but it could work.

Nah, i don't like competing directly for spots, leads to toe-stepping and hurt feelings.

Barbarians are ALWAYS useful to have around in a tight situation.

True, those are both fun ones I haven't done yet.

Warmages are fun, but limited (even more so than sorcerors).

Sorcs aren't limited if you have a good imagination. I'll give on the Warmage, though. Without Eclectic learning they have no utility spells, and even with it they're severely limited, and a level higher.

I do note that the party (following the loss of the Scout) no longer has any trap-dealing abilities, ie no Rogue. Maybe a fighter/rogue combination? (maybe I should take that?)

I'm not a roguish guy. The closest i'd ever come to that was if I 'accidentally' took a level in something that has trapfinding in order to get something else the class had. I play plenty of 'light armoured, speedy pokey-types', but not the sneaky, trapfindy rogue types.

BTW, LR, I see that as of right now, you're sitting at 999 posts.
Don't forget to celebrate #1000, and congrats!

Okay Strahd, thanks for poking your head in

Personally I think Paladin, Barbarian or Draconic Half Ogre Fighter would work best with this group.

But it really comes down to what you'd enjoy most, I'm not worried if we end up with a fighter-light party, as long as everyone is having fun I can always adjust the adventure so that only one party member dies per adventure. So far that seems to be the current rate of attrition.

Yay!

I would have reached a 1000 a long time ago, if it wasn't for a major server crash, and 8 months of resticted internet access. At one stage my post count was tied with Rhun, now I have a long way to catch up.

It is true...of course, I lost over 1000 posts in that same server crash.

I take it your internet/work issues are solved?

Yes, I'm able to post regularly from work once again.
