[QUOTE="hong, post: 182516, member: 537"] There's nothing in the book that requires everyone must research and use the optimal tactics for their character. A lot of people play just to relax and have fun kicking monster butt -- me included. I know that when I took my martial artist/shaman/blade dancer through RttToEE, I was less minmaxed than some other characters in the party -- like the wizard with save DCs of 21+ for his spells, or the ranger/rogue/ninja spy with 18 Str, TWF and a ring of invisibility, for example. I would say that if five people in the group aren't particularly fussed about tactics and strategy, and one person is, perhaps the one person should cut the others some slack. Besides which, it can be disadvantageous to be the most badass character in the party. In the last RttToEE session before I had to leave, one guy made up a minmaxed archer much like yours. He was going great, until he decided to do a full attack on one of the head honchos in the Outer Fane. The head honcho didn't like all those arrows coming at him, and replied with a disintegrate spell, save DC 26. Poof, no more minmaxed archer. :) [/QUOTE]
