| There is only 1 helm and you already have a gnome F/Ill. IMHO replacing the gnome fighter with a dwarf is much better as dwarf has the best saves.
For weapon prof (assuming 8 *) I'd the following:
Fighter - slings*/mace**/Axes*****
R/C - slings/Staff/Hammer/Flail
F/D - slings/dagger/Sword/Clubs
F/Ill - Bow/sword/Flail/gSword
FMT - Bow/Staff/sword/spear
Bard - Bow/Hberg/shortsword/crossbow
The first 4 guys should get +1 weapons before reaching the vale tomb. They should cover at least a ranged, a blunt and a slash/pierce type.
Hope it helps |
