I'm starting my first game and I have in mind this party:
1)Aesamir Sorcerer - diplomat and bombardier (Human better?)
2)Human barbarian - Tank (would a halforc better?)
3)Aesamir Pal3/fighterxx - Tank (would be better fighter4/Pal.xx?)
4)Thiefling rogue3-5/Wiz.specialistxx - 2nd mage and a lot of skills
5)Dwarf Cleric of Tempus - healer-tank (4 fighter lvls advisable?)
6)W.Elf fighter/rogue/ranger - scout/sniper and backup fighter
What do you think of the party and do you have any advice?
Thank
Advice/comments for new party

1. Aasimars are good, but if this is also ur loremaster, mebe human would be better for the extra skills points and no lvl penalty.
2. yep, a tank barb should be half-orc or dwarf. and take ftr4 for the weapon spec if u like.
3. both are equally possible. if u want a better tank, go 4 pal3/ftrX. if u want spell support then ftr4/palX.
4. forget the rogue lvls. no point. between ur wizard spells and no. 6, i think u can handle any lock, traps, search, and sneak.
5. if u like, but not really necessary. might as well get the higher cleric spells.
6. how do plan on distributing the levels? if u took ranger just to get the dual-wield, the i think u should drop the fighter levels and just stick to a dual-wielding, weapon finesse rgr1/rogX.

N°1 will not be the loremaster (n°4 instead for the high int.), his stats are 8/12/16/14/10/20, so the trade off are more skill points (including bonus spells for higher char.) and elem. resist. against 1 lvl penalty an a feat less;
N°2 (18/16/18/6/12/6 not liking mini-maxing for roleplaying) the extra strenght of the 1/2orc (1-2 extra damage) is at the cost of 1 feat plus 4 skill points less between dex and maybe wis; maybe a dwarf is a better alternative, although from a roleplaying point of view is not likely a dwarf with great sword;
N°4 see other thread regarding the specialist class;
N°6 (12/20/14/14/10/6) the lvl will be even for the exp penalty; I chose this mix-in because ranger1/roguexx with elf is not possible (I wanted a elf in the group, maybe I should switch n°4 with n°6 but I would miss the 20 int for the mage); the alternatives are ranger/rogue even ore fighter/rogue even, but the three class mix-in is the one that gives you the higher n° of feat, plus I have a char. with a lot of fighter type lvl (good for BAB and hp) and sufficient skill points for hide, move s., search and disable device.
