(but see Cloud of Steel) Another major problem is that levels 9 and 11 give no ranged options.  As to getting in and out of combat I have tried to select relevant abilities and items Tumble, shadow stride, Chameleon, Boots of Striding, Serpentskin armour, Baldric of positioning etc. Time to go to work unfortunately - back in about 8 hours Bye</blockquote>
