[QUOTE="Satin Knights, post: 5484028, member: 6666968"] Oh yeah. If I don't hit first and harder, I have a good chance of going down. There was a reason why I asked about slowing down on casting spells in medium armor and then taking mostly out of combat spells. With the player's guide out, I am thinking of switching out grease for mount for flavor. Then +1 caster level on mount means I get a no maintenance horse for 4 hours up to twice a day at first level. It fits well for an ex-soldier, forest walker cleric who pulls beasts out from the nether regions to do his bidding. But, that is intentionally gimping his spell casting for flavor. Do you guys want me building for power, or for flavor? A pit fight is the optimal situation for Marshan. They have limited distance to run, and I have surprise tactics that tip the balance. But, I only get that trick for five rounds a day. I also carry a separate batch of large arrows to do it as a ranged trick. Enlarge, then shoot the large arrows for 2d6 each. Since I am the only mass healer, when someone yells medic, I am going to have to burn my action in channeling. So, I will probably only be frontline melee 85% of the time. Without two frontliners using bottlenecking tactics, our bard will be easy pickings. And the eidolon isn't a real threat until about 4th level. Up to that point, it is more useful as a distraction. Where I will fall behind is in feats. Selective Channel is nearly a requirement. PS. I will be upgrading from leather to chain shirt armor as soon as I can afford it. The bow is another thing that will be immediately upgraded as soon as I can afford it. [/QUOTE]
