I was planning making my other character a Mage with Charisma, then get Jahan for crafting and Madora/other henchman as a tank. Would that be a viable party? Wouldn't I spread my maincharacter-mage too thin by adding points to Charisma? Is a 2H tank viable, or is a shield a must? I read that you're best off using your maincharacters for crafting. Is that true?
Finally, I'd like to take Pet Pal (not sure about the name, the one that lets you speak to animals) on my Ranger. Would that diminish my combat potential?
