Regarding Mugais's party:
I have a dwarf cleric; monsters attack him first and he dies:( , so I'm thinking, what if I made someone else the cleric, someone with less endurance... Oh, the horror! No-o-o-way! Only a dwarf as a cleric!
Goblin fighter (monk, knight, paladin) and elf mage—there's definitely nothing to say here; it's an ideal race/class match.
I play with a human archer myself; it's fine, I don't struggle much with him.
Only one question arises: what are you going to do about traps without a thief? O_o
