Cliche question: RttToEE => What char do you suggest?

[Elder-Basilisk]

I went with a CN Elvish cleric of Shevarash (although Solonor Thelandira would work for Greyhawk if your DM doesn't want dodgy FR gods).

Elf and War domain
Str 12, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 15, Cha 12

Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Rapid Shot, Weapon Focus: Comp Longbow (the DM used Flexible weapon focus rules from Sword and Fist).

Equipment: +1 Mighty [+4] composite longbow, Mithril Chain Shirt (I went for a +1 chain shirt but it was a mistake), Necklace of Prayer Beads (bead of blessing), masterwork longsword, silver dagger, 10 silver arrows, several scrolls of CLW, Bless, Remove Fear, Obscuring Mist (for when things are going really badly and you need to run away). If I'd been smart I would've picked up a scroll of Invisibility Purge too just in case.

An alternate suggestion: knock one level off this character.

Antigone
Human wizard 5 (Evoker—opp Enchantment, Illusion)

Since it's the ArteeteeTee'o'ee'ee, you'll probably get into lots of fights. Just about anything you take should be okay, as long as you can lay down the smack (a bard with maxed-out Diplomacy and Innuendo and no combat skill might be a mistake, for example).

What is the rest of your group taking? It's a good idea to talk with them so that you have all bases covered.

Elemental cleric sounds good.......

for your first character in RttToEE. Seriously: meat grinder. Don't get too attached to your character, and have a backup handy.

I think possibly the most important thing for a surviving character is good saves (unless we are talking about a tank, then it's AC and saves). That being said, go Monk, Cleric, Palidin, Or the MC Ranger. Since it's a big dungeon crawl, Ranger might not be so good an idea. It's cut and dry G vs. E, so a Palidin shouldn't have any moral issues. Clerics always do well. Monks can be a big help in talking out the higher level enemy spellcasters, but be prepared to not be effective for a few levels.

Heroic Human Paladin who will lead the group on an unrelenting crusade to crush the evil at the core of this module.

Or, a single class cleric of Lathander with the Protection and Strength domain. Prepare to keep yourself well buffed before battle and Death Ward and Spell Immunity are your friends.

We all know how that would work out, though.

Your best level-adjusted Monk is the ECL +2 Githzerai. Intertial Armor for free, +6 DEX and +2 WIS.

Half-Dragon (Red) would probably be a good idea, to avoid all the fire damage floating around-- or Half-Fiend. If you have enough levels, you might want to put either of those templates *on* the Githzerai Monk. The ability bonuses would also dramatically increase the Monk's abilities.

well speaking of +ECLs, I am not looking to lose out on a HD, so look for a humaniod with a net + to stats, and +2 Nat armor or so, and 2HD
