Im thinking of creating a new party of charecters generally discriminated against in Faerune.
Please give me your suggestions for this party.
Currently Im thinking of this party:

Half-Orc: Fighter[4]/Barbarian[x]
Half-Elf: Fighter[4]/Battlegaurd of Tempus[x]
Deep Gnome: Monk[x]
Grey Dwarf: Fighter[1]/Druid[x]
Teifling: Rouge[3]/Conjurer[x]
Drow: Sorcerer[x]

Tell me what you think of this party.

Also, what is the use of high Dex for a plate wearing tank? At 13 Dex I get Dodge which is enough,NO? What benefits would higher higher Dex give to this frontline Warrior?

Your party is well-balanced, and in my opinion you don't have to change anything.

About dexterity... yes, 13 is enough if you want some feats and wear full plate.

High dex gives better Reflex saves and AC, but if you want high dex, you can't wear heavier armors.

 

Your party is pretty-well balanced, but just note that you have three low-XP characters in there: Tiefling (+1 ECL), Drow (+2 ECL), and Deep Gnome (+3 ECL). Just make sure you know what you're dealing with before you send them on their merry way .

 

I just made the party such that the main job of each charecter is approximately of the same level.
I mean 4 levels of Fighter will hardly get you any MINOR benefits right?

@Imost
You forgot my Grey Dwarf's ECL
Changed her to Fighter[1] from Ranger[1] after checking the favoured class.

 

Half elf=discriminated against?

If you are only looking for AC, 13 dex isn't as good as 13 int unless the character is already dex based. 13 dex lets you take Dodge, which is 1 AC. 13 int lets you take Expertise, which is 0-5 AC depending on your choice.

If you are taking fighter levels, you take away one of the best reasons for taking a Tempus Cleric. Getting weapon focus: axe as opposed to weapon proficiency: axe for free is not impressive at all, though getting weapon focus: axe as opposed to no martial weapon proficiency is a good reason to take a Tempus cleric for a pure cleric. Tempus domain spells are not really good for tanking. Ilmater, Helm, Mask, and Lathander clerics will last longer on the front, and Talos clerics are better for dishing out damage melee, though Ilmater clerics are essentially tied with Tempus clerics in that respect. Tempus domain spells are either worthless or just an extra cast of a regular cleric buff. With Ilmater and Helm, you get a few spells normally not available to clerics. I should mention, however, that Tempus clerics' domain animate dead spell will get a new undead 1 level ahead of the normal animate dead spell. If you haven't patched the game, getting the more powerful undead a bit earlier is a nice touch. If you patched it, this is pretty worthless, since you max out on animate dead in the middle of your normal game anyway.

Strongheart Halfling Rogue15/Fighter15
Drow pure Sorcerer

Not a human...

 

Well, a little by elves, they are very pround of themslef so when they see elven blood mixed with human blood they tend to have less respect to this 1/2 elf, but that's nothing like compared to High elves - dark elves...

 

Well, it is maybe OK that half-elves are discriminated.

But how about the party peace?
How would a Half-Orc, a Deep Gnome, a Grey Dwarf, a Tiefling and a Drow suffer a Haaaalf-Eeelf?

By the way, screenshots from the game played with this party could be cool

 

Yeah , think about the party peace!
If the party isn't fighting baddies they will be fighting each other probably.
I mean , svferneblin are scared of drow and duergar , there's a lot of bloodlust in a half-orc and then that fragile half-elf in between?

If it were real it sure would be risky to put them together when there not fighting!

 

Actually everyone's scared of the Drow. Thats why she is the party leader and spokesman.

She will only let the druegar and tiefling anywhere close to her. The other 3 befudelled fools have to scout ahead and take all the knocks.

Who amongst the rest do you think will dare stand up to a Drow Sorceress' tongue

 

Oh, I don't know, maybe the deep gnome who is pretty much immune to anything the drow can try to do to it? Sure, your average deep gnome is afraid of drows, but your average deep gnome hasn't taken any monastic vows either, probably.
