Description:
Fighters are the best overall combantants in all of Wizardry.
While they have no magic, their high hit points and strength
make them effective shock troops. Their intense training allows
them to knock out opponents with a single hit and keeps them
going long after their comrades have fallen. Their uncanny
ability to fight also allows them to go berserk in combat -
a frenzied state that allows them to do double damage, but
leaves them more vunerable to attack themselves. Fighters can
wear almost all armor and use most weapons.

Description:
Extremely intelligent and pious individuals, Bishops devote
their lives to pondering ancient knowledge. Pooling the wisdom
of all the schools of magic, Bishops are well-read characters
who can learn any spell. However, becasue of the time required
to study four spellbooks, Bishops learn spells more slowly
than thier specialist counterparts. It is rumored that some
Bishops have chosen to purdue only two of the spellbooks at
a time to increase the pace of their learning in a particular
area. Like the Priest, the Bishop contact with the divine allows
him to dispel undead. The Bishop also has the unique ability
to remove cursed items from party members without casting a spell.

Description:
Legendary for their intense, deadly magic, Mages devote their
life's work to manipulating the elements for harm and good
(but mostly harm). Becasue they concentrate on only one
spellbook, Mages learn Mage spells quicker than any other
profession in Wizardry. They have poor hit points and are
limited in the armor and weapons they can use. However,
their powerfull spellcasting makes them ideal for any party.
A lifetime of exposure to magic has made mages sumewhat
resistant to its effects.

No kidding. I need a party of about 20 or so to have all the race/class combos I want. Guess I'll have to play more than once. |

A possible start for me could be the following:
1. Fighter, My physical powerhouse with an axe.
2. Lord, In the front row with the fighter with double sword and my backup of priest spells.
3. Ranger, My master archer with unique searching abilities (so i don't miss anything) and mythology knowledge.
4. Gadgeteer, Modern ranged combat, with abilities in locks & traps, engineering.
5. Bishop, staff/wand wielder with powerfull priest spells. Can remove cursed items, and know about alchemy,wizardry and communication.
6. Mage, Magic when it's best.
I guess this combination covers the most of all the traits and abilities in combination to using different weapons and armoury!
I think I will learn all my characters to use ranged combat in some degree, because I found it somehow important in the demo! |

Sounds like a good party.
I'm currently toying with the idea of a party, but something is bound to change by the time I get the game in my hands. Here it is including some profession changes when it becomes conveniant.
1. Dracon Fighter - will probably stay a Fighter
2. Human Fighter - change to Samurai later
3. Elven Ranger - change to Ninja later
4. Elven Priest - stay a Priest or possibly change to Valkyrie or Bard
5. Human Mage - stay a Mage or possibly some specialized caster
6. Human Rogue - change to Gadgeteer later
The races aren't as varied as I'd like, but all these characters except the Dracon will be modeled after friends in other games who were evles or variations of humans. I might just have to come up with a more original party before the game comes out.
I miss how in Wiz 1 you could create a whole bunch of characters and leave them at the inn, then bring your party back there and swap out one or two or however many you wanted. I was able to have all the characters of my dreams that way. I guess it's not as easy to do when the game is more story driven though.

(should start a new thread for party ideas)
Here's my party, I think:
Mage
Priest
Psionic
Alchemist
Bard
Gadgeteer
(A particularly weak party... I hope my bard and gadgeteer will be able to manage the fights early on before i get any npcs, which will surely be warrior-types (probably a fighter and valkyrie) |

Wow, you'll be short on hitpoints, but you'll have some serious magic power there. You can probably wipe out most things before they even get to you. And I almost forgot about the NPCs! Do you know if you'll be able to control them like the other members of your party?
Oh and you're probably right about making another thread. I think I'll start one so we can see other people's ideas. |
