The party of identical twins

Let's say that for RP-purposes, you'd have to make a party that was consisted of identical twins(always making 2 of each character, same race, class and proficiencies), what woul be your choices?

Only things allowed different are their gear, since you can't have 2 Croms fe. Proficiencies would have to be the same though.

Try to consider utility as well as roleplaying. And fun ofc. :smiley:

    That is an amusing concept. I've often done family and sibling themed parties, but identical twins is an interesting twist.
    I suppose it would be quite doable with say two identical warriors, two identical cleric/Mages, and then maybe two characters with the same stats, but one a warrior, the other thief or thief/multi. That would be a balanced party with an odd group!

    Making twins have same class and proficiencies would be bad role playing. Twins don't end up automatically making the same choices in life.

    I do get your idea, though. I would probably get 2 F/Ms, 2 R/Cs and 2 F/M/Ts.

    Two assassins or mage/thief would probably be pretty nice. As for race I would go with dwarf or elf and proficiency would be either be staves or short-swords/longsword.

    As for gear I'm unsure if I go for staves it would be staff of the ram and staff of the magi. If short/long it would probably depend a lot on the encounter. But possible candidates would be: shortsword of backstabbing, kundane, cutthroat, sword of mask, daystar, blackrazor and angurvadal.

    They wouldn't need to have the same class and profs.
    One of my best friends is an identical twin and his brother is a completely different person. They not only have different personalities but have chosen diametrically opposed career paths - one is a research scientist, the other a violin maker.

    an interesting option would be to go all humans, identical starting stats and classes, and then dual class them into different ones...

    Please keep in mind, it's not a thread about whether restrictions posted by OP are realistic or not =P

    @yannir, would casters need to learn/prepare the same spells?

    Front line: 2 warriors, probably Half-orcs F/C (or EEKeeped R/C), both proficient in TWF, but one would be using shield.
    Back line: 2 arcane - sorcerers or Wild Mages (for double surge fun XD)
    Middle line: well, I am missing thief - so some multiclass thieves, one using shortbow, other crossbow

    @Shikao Learn yes, prepare no. Although if u take sorc, u don't have much choice..:smiley:

    Let's make them magical twins then where if one learns something, the other one will as well.

    Just because they start the same it doesn't mean they have to develop the same ...

    So, in IWD:
    2 kensei (dual one to Druid and one to Thief)
    2 elf dragon disciples
    2 dwarf fighter/clerics

    Well I don't want to impose too many rules to discourage creativity but having them develop the same way as well presents more of a challenge. That's pretty much the point.

    1x blackguard + 1x inquisitor
    1x transmuter + 1x diviner
    1x thief dualed to cleric + 1x thief dualed to fighter

    I think.....

    2 x Cleric/Rangers - TWF, starting with flails, then hammers and maces I guess.
    2 x Fighter/Thieves - TWF, probably Long swords for the main hand, then Short swords and scimitars.
    2 x Sorcerers
