Fighter, mage, thief, archer

What else could comprise a BASIC D&D character group?

(No Gandalf with a machine gun)

edit:
ahhhh... Cleric
ok, Rogue in the thief slot and ranger in archer slot
 
I don't know the latest rules (beyond 3.5) but I'd want:

Ranger
Rogue
Mage
Cleric

Rangers are slightly less powerful, but more skillful than fighters. The rogue is there for backstabs and skills. Mage is the pussy that stands in the back and drops fireballs on people. The cleric is the party buffer, healer, and can really be a tank if you deck them out in plate mail and buff with various spells.

:laugh:

Typical team consists minimally of:
1. Healer
2. Tank
3. Someone who is fast
4. Mage
 
If you want bare minimum all you need is:

Fighter
Cleric
Thief

Or maybe you can just roll with a fighter/cleric/thief multiclass... 😵

"tank", "buffs". Sounds like WoW/EQ terms more than D&D.
 
here's what worked for me in baldur's gate 2:

fighter (me = monk)
fighter (minsc = ranger using 2hand sword)
fighter (keldorn = paladin for the carsomyr)
random person (korgan for fighting or viconia for buffing. sarevok in throne of baal)
cleric (anomen dual-class fighter/cleric)
mage (edwin)
 
For a "basic" group don't you just need the holy trinity?
I don't know D&D so I don't know the class names, but healer, tank, and DPS.
