You're playing an apprentice with a crossbow. You one combat spell (burning hands or color spray if you like being up in melee, grease if you prefer to survive) and a Batman spell (like silent image or mount).The Cleric is not going to self-buff. He's going to cast bless ONCE per day and keep his other spell-slot for healing himself or someone else, and maybe he won't even get to cast bless. If he takes the War domain and puts a 14 (or better) in Str, he's going to be just fine wearing as much armor as he can afford and standing on the front line.Riding Dog is an excellent choice for the Druid, who should get himself a big wooden shield, a scimitar, and a sling. At 1st level, his best spells are entangle and cure light wounds. Barding on the animal companion is a good idea, but might be too expensive for 1st level.The Rogue probably wants to stay out of melee until he has Weapon Finesse, which unfortunately he can't have until 3rd level. So he's going to be using a shortbow until then. Oddly enough, he can qualify for Two Weapon Fighting right away, so he should take that at 1st level so that he's ready to kill at 3rd level. Even starting with a mere 15 Dexterity, he can qualify for all the Two-Weapon Fighting feats if he keeps putting his level bonus in Dexterity. He wants all of those, Weapon Finesse, and maybe Weapon Focus.- - -So, at 1st level, your front-line is: Cleric + Animal CompanionYour mid-line is: Druid + RogueYour ohgodnotintheface line is: WizardCheers, -- N</blockquote>
