Berzerker (slashing primarily)
DD (axes)
F/C (blunt)
Cleric of Tempus (blunt and slings)
F/T (longbows)
Skald* (song/some spells)
*Cheated - But Skald do fit the theme a lot, so I would fake it rather than use a Halfling or Gnome. Could be run without the Skald as well since arcane is nice but not mandatory.
What im thinking:
Fighter
Fighter/cleric
Fighter/thief
Cleric (single class for turn undead)
Fighter
I feel 5 character is enough.
If i use halflings i feel somehow a halfling sorcerer or druid for some rp reasons or just because i like the idea
I would be tempted to use a swashbuckler instead of or in addition to the fighter / thief
Swashbuckler is nice, but really dont need that much thieving skill points. Usually i use fmt or dual thief to smthing else.
Only dwarves is very restrictive, but I will go for:
Fighter (DD) -Sword and shield-
Fighter (Berserker) -Axes-
F-Th (ranged)
F-Cler -Flail-
Cleric of lathander (The valley of the dead is a field trip with him/her. Bring beer) -Sling-
Assassin (if you have RR) or Shadowdancer(if not) -Few skill points but that is why you have 2 thieves. Also to have mixed alignments.
In iwd i like vanilla fighters, thats all, but yes the berserker and dd kits are super strong.
Assassin is why strong here ? Backstab is hard to land in harder difficulties and enemies track you regardless of stealth that is very annoying. Crippling strike rules is not mine i think.
I prefer a mage and/or a bard but since is an all-star-dwarven party, why not another thief?
Not sure what you mean by death attack, are you talking about Assassination HLA? If so, there's no HLA's in IWD, but maybe I've misunderstood you.
IMHO the only decent SC thief in IWD is the bounty hunter kit, but any version of MC thief far surpass even that in utility. Being all dwarf, F/T is the number one choice.
I think rogue rebalancing or another mod added death attack to assassin and @PsicoVic related to that version.
Yes i agree with you @Skatan multiclass thiefs superior here, there is no hla or other things. So fighter/thief, cleric/thief, mage/thief ar all better than single class thieves.
If it was an all elven party no way I will recruit a single-class thief. Ever.
And naturally I also have a Dwarven themed party.
