Thanks for all the replies. I envision a very defensive tank up front taking most of the damage and mitigating it. It sounds like he should be dual wield with defensive traits and skills. I also envision a pure caster nephil with divinely touched and natural mage. Now I might just stop at that and play 2 guys to keep my focused on them. I prefer less guys. If I add a third it will be sustainable DPS and tool use. What is the best build for that? A pole arm? Something else? Preferably something I don't have to get into melee with because then I am just making another tank without all the defenses... Thanks.

1) Is there any way to play avernum 6 on a PC? Some kind of emulator? 2) What is skribbane? I saw multiple references to this in posts. It sounding like grinding on respawning mobs maybe? 3) I am thinking about this party, advice welcome: Human Sword and Shield defensive tank Dextrous bow and tool use archer, might use melee is monsters reach him Pure int caster with cleric and wizard spells. Is this realistic? No 4th character, I enjoy games more with less characters I don't need to play on a high difficulty setting so I don't think I need 4 characters to win. Should I make the tank into a defensive healing + tanking characters and make the caster pure wizard? Will my archer need to have melee skills? Is making a wiz+cleric realistic? Should my caster pick up sling or bow use so he can contribute without using up mana? Thanks in advance. Mike.
