ShadowWulfe: Need some assist for a good starting party please, just classes and races, I can work out the details and whatnot later when I've understood the mechanics more.
I have following ones (all humans, they are well rounded, and racials are not so good at higher levels):
Front line: Lord, Valkyrie, Thief.
Back line: Mage, Alchemist, Bishop.
4 classes have very important special purpose:
You will need Bishop to get some side quests (confession in temple at certain levels).
You will need Alchemist to pass through some areas without super pain because he can craft interesting things.
Valkyrie is best class to fight ghost type of enemies efficiently.
Thief is the most efficient class to open chests.
Ex-Skils:
Lord - Bracing.
Valkyrie - Mysterious Bag.
Thief - Find Treasure.
Mage - Spirit Contract.
Alchemist - Divination.
Bishop - Song of Healing.
This makes it for very efficient party from very start.
