Hi there. The past week has been full of discoveries for me, after I started tinkering with the Forgotten Realms Collection #2.
At first I thought I would only play Secret of Silver Blades, not wanting to mess with older button layouts. But then I tried Azure Bonds and fell in love with the freshness of it. And then I tried Pool of Radiance for nostalgia, and it was just obvious I wanted to start at the beginning. And then I *finally* learned how I could fix classes with GBC.
So now I am making a party that I can play with my brother over Discord video casting. We're 44 and 48 and he showed me Pool of Radiance in 1988 on this machine: https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ibmpc_5988.jpg
Just trying char creation gave very strong feelings of nostalgia, especially when jumping between heads and bodies. :)
Now I think I have a good idea of a good party, so here is my current plan for a PoC legacy party (using the Goldbox Companion class conversion tool):
Male Human Paladin
Male Human Ranger (dual to mage the second they get access to mage spells)
Male Human Ranger (ditto)
Male Dwarf Fighter-Thief
Male Human Cleric
Female Human Magic-User
Do you have any pointers or suggestions, concerning both viability in PoR and any later game? Anything regarding the cleric and mage?
