[QUOTE="Nareau, post: 2176666, member: 969"] I used to game with someone like this. She was a great role-player, but hands-down the worst tactician I've ever seen. Her serceror was constantly getting eaten/torn apart/etc. I talked to her about it out of game. She said she really hated combats. She never bothered to read the combat chapter, and barely knew the effects of her own spells. At some point, my character (a priestess of a war-god) had to go out of her way to save the sorceror. Afterwards, my character said, in no uncertain terms: "Look--you're no good at this 'staying alive' stuff. I'll help buff/protect/heal you, but you have to follow MY orders whenever we get into a fight." It worked out pretty well, both in-game and out. I might suggest your rogue take some Knowledge: Dungeoneering and Knowledge: Religion to help inform the actions of the poor tacticians. You might also talk to your DM about allowing the poor-tacticians to make more Spot/Sense Motive/Knowledge rolls to make up for their ineffective combat decisions. Spider [/QUOTE]
