So i was thinking about starting the game on hard with this compoaition in mind and I had some questions. Feel free to correct me:

1.lizardman rogue, full dodge and unarmed (what first, to what level?). Skilled, evasive, lurker set. All stats into dex and vit? Or dex and str?

2. Minotaur warrior,full armor (until heavy) and swords. Headhunter,skilled, stats in vit and str (maybe willpower at first to negate defect)?

3. human reach rogue, assassination (to reach) and daggers max after that. Skilled ,(what to put in 2nd trait here?).. Max str and dex,hope to not get flanked?

4. Insectoid mage, frost and spellcraft, freezes stuff for backstabber. Skilled,strong mind. Willpower and vit maxed?

Keep in mind that this is on hard mode.. Thanks!

I'd go with

Hey thanks a lot for your input, appreciate it.

Hi, i had some bad events with front line chars depending only on dodge... maybe bad luck but for now i prefer a mix of protection and dodge with focus on protection.
Anything else regarding your setup has been said above. Have fun and pls report back how well your team performs.

I play a Human only Party with 2 Warriors and 2 Mages in hard mode.

1st Warrior with Sword/Shield and heavy armor
2nd Warrior with Mace/Shield and light armor (maybe heavy when i find more heavy items)
1st Mage (Fire, Arcane, some Earth)
2nd Mage (Ice, Acrane some Air)

If enough gear one of the most efficient party is the four rogues. Really funny to play even if tough at the start but on the long term its really powerful as most of ur enemies dies before hitting ur party.
Theres is a post detailing everything on the forum...

As said ice magic is so powerful as u can freeze the mob and kill him before it even starts fighting...
I agree wiz spellcraft but if enough skill points then back up with air magic as ice lizard does not fear cold....
