Ok, started over with a new party. That first party I ever made just didn't cut it/ wasn't interesting.
New party and their current/ long term route:
Dracon Fighter -> Lord: sword&shield -> 2x mace&flail
Felpurr Ninja: hands&feet -> 2x nunchaka
Faerie Thief <-> Bard: 2x wand&dagger
Rawulf Priest -> Monk: pole&staff
Elf Mage -> Ranger
Gnome Alchemist -> Psionic -> Bishop
As for challenge: the easiest/ most objective way is probably to try and beat the game with as low an overall level as possible instead of time spent. Reduces grinding just as well and can be more easily measured.
The "fighters take double damage" seems to be an issue in W7, where items have the "slay [Fighter]" property. Since I like starting with fighters I will test that in the future.
