it seems to me that you have to go an multiclass characters..... the best for the beginning Let me see Rogue, Ranger, Ninja or alll three Rouges(Stealth,backstabbing...) and after 10th or so level you can change it other classes
Thats what i would do.... if i had sucha dillemma

PhoenixReborn you have made old memories come back so i had to return to playing Wizardry again....
about your 3 member party i was thinking a lot and as a stater i have question:
On which point of start you have the most difficulty(maybe i can help)
And i understand that the major problem is geting from start point to Arnika(geting additonal Vi and Miles there and new stuff solves survivability problem)
Lets think we want to have only three members in party and we prefer no dual professions, so what to choose:
* The abilities races and professions that will keep you alive till you get to Arnika and finnaly at Acension Peak
The first thing i was thinking was the race Draconian with its unqie ability the Breath. Just take three Draconians as your team and use this ability on your enemys it is garantied to work very well for corridors of monastery very good when you are lvl 1-3.
