Grimrock

Hey Guys,

So what are you party are you planning for your first play through? I'm thinking Old School mode, and a party comprising of,

Sir Horny - A powerful and noble Male Minotaur Fighter, he will be heavily armoured with a massive weapon! He was once a Knight and will lead the party.

Kang the Merciless - An agile Male Lizardman Fighter he will concentrate on Dual Weapons, and will carve enemies to bits, lightning fast while dodging incoming blows!

Bella-Donna - An incredibly dexterous Female Human Rogue, she will focus on bow and arrows, being sneaky and making the odd potion/poison.

Krxxxzt "The old one" The powerful Insectoid Mage (male/female, who knows?!) He/she will master the arcane arts, bringing death and destruction to all! He/she may occasionally heal the rest of the party after they have been hurt that mostly depends on if he/she feels like it or not!

Please share what party you will use to enter the deep dark depths of GRIMROCK!

Same. Two fighters, one rogue, one mage.

A Minotaur will obviously be one fighter, but I'm waiting for more detail on the racial traits before deciding where the others will go.

One screenshot shows Lizards with dex bonus and will power penalty, so if that stays they won't be the mage.

I'm curious if there are any restrictions for Minotaurs and Insectoids wearing armor. I'd ideally like to make an Insectoid one of the front line fighters, but if it turns out both races have armor restrictions, that may not be ideal due to eliminating the usefulness of too much loot.

Yeah Lizardmen sound ideal for my speedy dual weapon fighter.

I like that Sir Horny has a massive weapon.

Oh he does, Sir Horny will use his Massive weapon viciously against all enemies and they shall learn to fear him! You wouldn't believe what he does to Giant Snails with it!

In party based games, my characters names are generally just to make sure I don't forget who is who if looking at a text log.

Min-Fighter: Bullsack
Ins-Fighter: Chitinous Wrex
Hum-Mage: Castie McBurns
Liz-Rogue: Slippery Nip

2x Fighter, 1x Rogue and 1x Mage seems to be the popular choice so far. Anyone tempted to do something wacky like 4 x mage?!

I definitely will on a second play. Maybe not 4x mage, but I always like to try to get multiple mages in a party at some point so they can use complementary spells at the same time.

1x Fighter, 1x Rouge, 2x Mages.

The Fighter will be a minotaur, as for the others, I have to wait and see what race traits there are.

Aha two mages! Does this mean you'll put your Rogue in the front rank and arm them with a melee weapon? Or will you have a mighty Battle Mage, equally at home with fireballs and weaponry!

Daniel.
