My party consists of Mavaro (me), Drelm, Simoun, and Damiel. We played the first two base scenarios last night. I think we have a pretty good combo, the only problem being that Simoun and Damiel are a bit too similar. But my friend who's playing Damiel loved him in S&S and wanted to play him again, so I can't blame her for that. And Simoun is just really cool with her ability to use and absorb electricity. Drelm is just about as badass as I expected, and I totally would have chosen to play him if not for Mavaro. I absolutely love playing Mavaro and can't wait to keep discovering what cool combos he can play with, and I'm already looking forward to maxing out his Intelligence :)
I think our party is so far so good. We didn't have too much of a problem getting through our first scenarios. They are all great characters individually, but will have to wait and see how well we combo together throughout the adventure.
