thanks horseman, i got to say that worked like a charm. I just finished beating Champions of Krynn when I read this but it should come in handy for Death Knights
The party I used turned out to work pretty good. Its frustrating at low levels though cause I miss a lot and dragons just stomp ya into the ground with their breath weapons.

i had no protection against lightning for the blues but the reds were not so bad cause I had resist fire.
Now with paladins in death knights I'm trying to think up how I'll revamp my party. I need to read the journey and find out how Dragonlance has differences between paladins and knights. I'm thinking of a paladin and a knight and maybe keep my kender cleric/thief if the cleric part isn't limited. I want a that won't get stopped by level limitations. Last time in Dark Queen that meant a lot of single classes and before that I just went with a lot of elves but they were limited as fighters. I'd like a red or white mage maybe both I dunno yet. Maybe a cleric/mage and a single class mage. Any suggestions?
Death Knights was my favorite of the series. Darker music, theme, slight enhancements and more sub-quests and monsters and the party was better ready for monsters. I liked the story better to. Dark queen looks a little nicer with graphics and sound in some cases but more linear i found and very little in the way of maps which I found frustrating. I never did beat dark queen but i hope to this year.
Champions word keys
Here are some of the words some players will need to know to get past the parts where it asks you to save when your encamping. I don't have the rule book, i found these out by guessing= a little logic.
Under the heading "MAGIC"
word #1
answer "TO"
answers like to I just imagined how the sentence might begin being it was the first word I imagined "To use magic you must...." and it was right. Sometimes I'm wrong.
Heading "MAGIC"
word #1
answer "to"
Heading "SPELLS"
