Dwarven rogue:  the extra hit points will help you survive the traps you can't disarm and since most of the Dungeon is made of stone the Stonecunning ability will really come in handy with Search checks.  And they can fight, too, although they should always be working with another party member to flank opponents.2. Human Warlock: Warlock are as good as gold in the WLD, because they don't need to rest to regain their magic.  In fact, Warlocks are so good, your DM may not allow them.  Do keep them out of the front lines, though.  The Human's extra feat will help you get Precise Shot as early as possible (Warlocks need Precise Shot).3. Elan Psychic Warrior:  A psy-warrior can deal some good damage, and has quite a bit of versitility in terms of powers and abilities.  Elans are not only naturally psionic, they can go without food or water for long periods of time (thus conserving the party's resources), and they can spend power points to reduce damage taken.  A flexible mix of offense and defense.  (the main weakness of this build is they you're always going to want more power points--pick your feats accordingly).4. Whisper Gnome Ninja: The best possible scout, and a decent melee character, in a pinch.5. Human Favored Soul:  I'd go with Favored Soul instead of cleric because of the slightly higher spells per day.  This will be your healer and your diplomat--spend your extra skill points on Diplomacy and make sure to pick up Augment Healing (every little bit counts).6. Illumian Fighter/Cleric: Take the 'Krau' symbol and the Practiced Spellcaster feat so your caster level stays high.  Get the War domain, if you can, for Weapon Focus.  You'll make an excellent backup healer and tank.  If you take the 'Aesh' symbol at second level, you don't have to worry about having a high Wisdom.</blockquote>
