Thanks in advance.

One of the great things about 4th is that now, more than ever you can get away with pretty much any party comp. Just play what you like.

Half-Elf Paladin.

Seconded! With a striker and a controller, the Paladin fills out most of the gaps you can fill with one character.

Half-elf is optional, of course. But it's not a bad choice for a paladin, and a party of three half-elfs should make for a memorable campaign.

Yeah, that's the only reason I said Half-Elf. That, plus, they can all dilettante other classes abilities, to mix things up.

Half-elf triplets.... Hmm.. Whoever meets them would certainly remember them
