"Handler" 3/Cleric (Gilean) 7 -- guaranteed action starterFemale human Barbarian 1/Sorceror 8/Rage Mage 1 -- former harem girl gone wildMale human Monk 6/Drunken Master 4 -- umm, he's a drunkMale drow Rogue 8/"Demolitions Expert" 2 -- a hired saboteur with a surprising amount of honor (he was LN)As you can see, the amnesiac characters are playing at levels considerably lower than they used to.  That's because the amnesia was my mechanical excuse for converting over to 3rd edition.  I didn't want to start a new edition with high level characters, but I still had a huge plot thread hanging over these characters' heads.  So, amnesia, the all-purpose DM's tool. From 11th level on, all the characters will be taking gestalt levels, to represent their memories coming back.  The one non-amnesiac will be given a magic item that ties him to his ancestors, and he'll be learning their skills as well as his own, so he'll get to take the gestalt levels too.</blockquote>
