11-16-06, 07:18 PM Honestly it all depends on your DM and how you guys play. I personally think that party composition is almost irrelevant to how well your party works as your team dynamics, play style, and the way your DM tailors his campaign are much more important.

From a purely mechnical perspective I guess you don't have those basic combat heavy frontliners (which would be useful against dragons) but then you have heaps of skills and abilities to draw upon. Two rogues could be overkill but then they could work in tandem with their sneak attack abilities and scouting.

Seems all good to me. An interesting mix.
