I played for the first time last night and we had 2 paladins, 1 cleric, 1 rogue, 1 ranger and 1 bard besides my fighter. I did see something that I am now planning on meta-gaming. This is the stupidest bunch of characters I can imagine. I think everyone had INT as a dump stat.
My new plan is to go fighter 2 and then the rest into wizard and readjusted my stats for that. I still plan on playing him as a fighter with a GFB glaive, since my character did stick his hand into some green flame to see if it was real. Still not sure on that. I for the most part don't plan on attack damaging attack spells, just control and protection spells, which is why I am considering Abjurer spec.
