Druid

Sela Wildgiant: Female Ghostwise Halfling Druid/Barbarian

This tiny woman, no more dangerous in appearance than a child, was rescued from pursuing goblins by a group of adventurers taking a shortcut through the wilderness. To their wonderment, their subsequent scouting revealed the badly mangled bodies of several other goblins further into the woods, though there was no sign of any other travelling companions or any nearby civilization. Although she said very little while they travelled, it quickly became clear that there was more to this tiny wild thing than met the eye.

Start as Druid, take a level of Barbarian when convenient for Rage

Str: 6
Dex: 20
Con: 14
Int: 14
Wis: 18
Cha: 4

Tank

Kaelinna: Female Drow Dreadmaster/Monk/Fighter; Lawful Evil

Touched by Bane, they called her, for she was both blessed to channel the dark god's power to frightening effect even as a child, and cursed in that the divine contact blasted her mind, leaving her speaking mostly in single syllables, lacking any social grace, and mindlessly following the directions of those close to her. But for this flaw, she might have become one of the great champions of the Underdark... but when her twin sister turned away from that bloody culture and fled to the surface, Kaelinna went with her as her guardian: an avatar of destruction turned to the protection of the living.

Start Cleric (Dreadmaster of Bane):

Abilities:

Str: 16
Dex: 20
Con: 16
Int: 5
Wis: 18
Cha: 5

Feats:

Dodge (1)
Weapon Focus: Axe (2)
? (3)
Lightning Reflexes (6)
Improved Criticals (9)

Skills:

Spellcraft (10)
Concentration

At level 2, take Fighter to start specializing in the axe. Pick up another couple levels of Cleric and then a second level of Fighter, then three levels of Monk, dropping armor in favor of the +4 AC from Wisdom. Once you have the monk speed, go back to Cleric nonstop until the late teens, picking up the last two levels of Fighter to get Weapon Specialization: Axe.

10 points of Spellcraft is required to gain the elemental feats, but after that isn't useful, so go with Concentration

[edit]

Crowd Control

Kaedath: Drow Diviner/Rogue; Chaotic Good

Twin brother to Kaelinna, Kaedath got all the brains his sister lacked, but in turn seemed completely ignored by the gods -- and in the shadow of his sister, most of the priesthood as well. His study of magic eventually made up for this, and bright as he was, he might have eventually made a name for himself serving one of the great houses, but being also as headstrong and incautious as he was bright, he developed both a disaffection with his bloody society and an inability to keep quiet about it. Faced with certain death if he stayed, he took his sister and fled the Underdark, trading a murderous world for one merely distrustful.

Start Rogue. Go Diviner after that. Possibly pick up a 2nd or 3rd level of Rogue for more skills and Evasion.

Abilities:

Str: 8
Dex: 20
Con: 16
Int: 20
Wis: 10
Cha: 6

Nukes

Baz: Human Sorcerer/Fighter; Lawful Neutral

Rescued by a passing mercenary company from the abuses of a superstitious family and small town that feared his manifesting powers , Baz has been stripped of much of his emotional ability by life's many disappointments. He has been left believing in only two things: honoring his contracts, and increasing his power... and not necessarily in that order. Although indifferent (if not oblivious) to the plights of others, he is not deliberately cruel, and he has a personal charm that has served him well in his dealings.
