i settled on h-elf +2 cha barb 1 / sorc 2.
i began w/ 33 hp, ac 14, elemental lightning bloodline, falchion, mithral shirt..
my melee attack is +8 w/ rage to hit and +6 dmg
i have the 1d6 elemental ray, and cantrip acid spash for all day d3s...
i took exp retreat and true strike as my lvl 1 spells... TS is V and F, so basically just V for casting.. no armor trouble..
our party, what a collection, sheesh..
1 elf snob wizard
1 draconian -homebrewd- some melee type , not sure about what
1 ogre paladin of pelor
1 human palidin
1 human wiz?
1 helf barb sorc
i had second most hp in the party, behind the draco.
we blundered our way into the presented module...
encounter 1, a roadside ambush of hobgobs w/ a cleric assist and some hell hounds.
i think it was three waves of attack at us... i raged, natural 20 confirmed crit on my first hit (my only hit of the game).
i finished my rage, was defatigued by one of the palys, and we went to the next town where the lawfull arrogant pist off the town gaurd, and we called it a day..
