OK so i'm about to nitpick the character sheets, finalize some stuff for my NPCs and we can really get this campaign going! I'm looking in to OpenRPG right now, to see if i can make it work and probably use it to run some real live gaming sessions with you all over the internet, complete with maps, miniatures and all. That'd be much faster and a much more dynamic experience, plus i've never been at a tabletop PnP game so..
Anyway, here are some other details that require your attention:
The party:
Kye - pure Cleric (healer/support damage)
Peth - Archivist (effectively a Cleric as far as spells are concerned)
Thok - pure Barbarian (tank/damage dealer)
Latham - Enchanter/Master Specialist - Arcane specialist/controller
Snesalar - Druid/Master of Radiance - WIS nature caster/support damage
Alevyth - Fighter/Paladin/Warshaper - tank/physical damage
How do you all think this party will fare? Should i open up the recruitment once more to get two more players on board? (If i do so it will definitely not be "first come - first served", I can't be bothered to write in a guy with 5 posts who then decides to disappear forever)
If so, what character classes would most benefit the party? My intention is to get this game up to level 20, and i will probably compensate the slow pace with bigger chunks of XP when the time to get rewards comes. If we start using OpenRPG even with a couple of hours of live gaming we can advance much much faster however.
Thoughts?
