Under Walkyrie, I imagine some physical body like human and heroic like Joan of Arc, not something that even dwarf of lizard can do as profession, that strikes me as silly and I can't screw my mind around to get used to it).
Regarding the silly choices, I remember in that online game I mentioned above how new folks would run about with items that can't do anything for them but are only pretty baubles and they tie up the slot needed for other item proper to their class. It was like that for all or most of us when the game just came out and for most it was our first time online gaming and it was romantic for sure but one really doesn't need to do that again in some wizardry if one can avoid it 
Like you say, after reading the relevant passages in that FAQ I decided to reroll most chars except maybe that mage... the reason to have like four or even five female chars makes sense and fits my play style in some ways, so I will reroll maybe even those professions that are hard to get nevermind the bonus points to top it off. |
Don't worry too much about the perfect party. When the games were released players had to plan their parties with nothing but the misleading manual and still managed to beat the game.
They had to wait a little longer for mana regeneration, get a little more annoyed by low carrying capacity and grind a few extra levels to be strong enough but beat the game nevertheless.
You can afford to take the weaker classes and unfitting races, create characters with rolls far below 10 worse, waste points for useless stats and make no or stupid class changes, reaching high enough levels will make your characters super strong nevertheless.
Do you want to play a party through W6, W7 and W8 or do you seek one for W6 only ?
Do you want to play without class switching or use it heavily ?
