[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 6820254, member: 6790260"] Yeah, as long as our Wizard keeps out of trouble, we've got plenty of healing going around right now (2/day Lay on Hands, 1/day Healing Word, 2/enc Healing Spirit, 2/enc Majestic Word.) Going for anything heavier support focus than I am naturally as a Paladin seems unwise. The bigger issue, at least as I foresee it, is that we've only got the one striker, and IIRC he's all about the ranged combat. Having a Valor Bard certainly helps, but I worry fights may drag especially as we gain levels. Hunter's Quarry for two rounds per encounter could be good...though beyond that it seems a little wan, as most melee Ranger powers are meant for dual-wielders (which I'm not.) Barbarian has some nice powers sprinkled over many levels, and +2 damage to every damage roll for a single encounter seems like it could be on par with the Ranger feat (especially since, at least with the few sessions we've had thus far, there haven't been too many encounters per day yet). Both get me the skill training I'm looking for, so it's mostly a matter of what the per-day and long-run benefits would be. Fighter makes me a better tank, of course, and potentially opens the option of juicy paragon paths later down the line--there's the possibility that restrictions on non-PHB1/2 options will be relaxed once we get to higher levels (since things get a little gonzo in Paragon and Epic anyway :P). Anyway, useful food for thought thus far, so thanks for that! Also, on the subject of pushing both sides, I'm definitely doing that. It's left me with some slightly low prime stats at first level (16) because I value my secondary stats, but with Valiant Strike buoying my hit chance and strict adherence to +Str/Cha as I level it should work out just fine.
