Sir Heinrich Godfrie IV:
Well... they do incur a penalty for certain abilities depending on their race (Haflings, Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes), do they not?... I as well see Gnomes and Haflings as "underdogs", atleast with respect to the class 'Fighter'.
(holy war)
Silence, racist! And you leave those rotten, self-important, leaf-eating, look-at-me-nancy-about-on-top-of-the-snow Elves out of it! (Cookie if you know the reference.) Tallfolk have no place among the wee ones!
(/holy war)
I guess my overall aim is to formulate a party which has atleast an "equal" or "lesser" ability of that of my opponents.
Ah! Well, to be really nasty, you could make your party fight using scripts *only*. Use really bad scripts that make them no smarter than your enemies. Let *them* perform all combat. Micromanage nothing, save things your scripts don't do.
If not that, you could try running your mages/clerics using only Save-or-Else spells. In my experience, relying excusively on Save-or-Else can be downright debilitating compared to the cushy life of elder mages with scads of MM's.
More of less just a group of, PARTIALLY inept, clumsey, semi-suicidal, upper-societal misfits, would do just fine.
Well, say no more: You want Skie! That, of course, implies Eldoth. Garrick's just as fantastic as Eldoth, though less misfit-y. (G's friendly. E's a scumbag.) Shar-Teel, Quayle, Tiax, and Xan also seem like misfits, though Shar is perhaps the most capable among them. And even then, Xan's not holpless; he just doesn't have MM, Chro Orb, FBall, or Cloudkill. Faldorn's not just a misfit, that gal's completely counter-culture. Eco-Terrorist would be the modern term, I think. Hm, that's definitely a good twist on using her.
Dammit. Now I want to be an Eco-Terrorist druid. Grr, must finish current parties first...
