I'd say he was a ranger-paladin rather than a ranger-fighter.Gandalf has powers to turn demons and undead, and curative abilities (he chips in with Elrond to heal Frodo of the Morgul-knife wound). I think he might be a cleric or cleric-druid rather than an arcane caster, and if he is an arcane caster he's definitely a sorceror rather than a wizard. But it is probably most accurate to consider him a celestial.Boromir and Gimli are fighters right enough, but I have my doubts about Legolas. Monk might be the best way to do him.Frodo, Merry, and Pippin are anything but commoners. Pippin is the eldest son of the Thane of the Shire, and Merry is the eldest son of the Master of Buckland. And although the Baggins are untitled, and not as wealthy as the Tooks (at least before Bilbo's adventures they weren't), they are 'more respectable', and certainly in the class where they intermarried freely with the Tooks and the Brandybucks. So I'd do all three as aristocrats.Sam is a commoner, or possibly a commoner-expert.You might want to multiclass in some rogue on the basis of Merry's sneak attack on the Nazgûl, but I'd attribute any extraordinary effect of that on the banes against Angmar woven into the barrow-blade, and just say that it was a coup-de-grace delivered on an unaware target. As for the hobbits (except Sam's) general stealthiness, I'd put it down to a racial bonus and high DEX.Regards,Agback</blockquote>
