I actually have two custom “Kanisatha inspired parties†planned.
All melee and no magic is too much for me, so I’m splitting it between:
One will be almost no magic and mostly melee. Human fighter, human barbarian, high elf ranger (a tiny bit of magic there) and a halfling rogue. A simple, no frills, straight-forward group of bad ass normals.
The other party will be some magic (a cleric and a paladin) but all melee. A Drow raiding party with all 4 multiclassed into assassins and melee weapons only.
While I am definitely going to play through with one custom character and companions for my first playthrough, creating custom, thematic parties is what I’m most excited for.
