[@Joshua Tamashii][@CajunRobinHood] Player's can be the same class. I've played games with parties of nothing but fighters, it makes for an interesting dynamic when the party is not "balanced." Please don't feel you have to change your character to make a balanced party. If the party is ever lacking something I may insert a special quest to circumvent the short fall but very rarely can something not be accomplished because you have too many rogues and not enough clerics (insert any class type for this demonstration). 

[h3]It occurred to me this morning that I did not explain house rules when making a character sheet. I will have that up in the next couple of hours along with my character sheet.[/h3]
