Back when we played, players would pick which of their characters or henchmen was playing that session, but the players also varied session to session, so we never had more than a handful of PCs adventuring in any one session.

I mean, can you seriously imagine putting together a party of wizards with no meat shields? I can just imagine a party of clerics or one of thieves; a party of fighters, even, makes some sense. But a group consisting exclusively of magic-users is just odd. I liked the way the game allowed for cabal...

sorry if I'm jumping the gun a little!

didn't greyhawk have options for lawful fighters becoming paladins ? I'm sure that magic missile and ventriloquism made their appearance in that supplement if memory serves me ?

not that I'd miss these options but magic missile seems iconic ?

interesting, the alignment section is particularly good.
