Prepare. Do your homework and plan accordingly. Divine if possible, spy if necessary. Be ready for the unexpected.Know your strengths, exploit their weaknesses. You should have a good idea what your character can do, but knowing what your allies can do and how you can assist them (or they can assist you) can multiply your effectiveness. Spotting your opponent's weak spots can mean the difference of a 2 round victory or a 10 round beat down and hasty retreat.In our campaign: If it's a construct, throw the Adamantine wielding fighter at itIf its incorporeal, use Force effectsIf it casts spells and at a distance, use readied range attacks or readied dispelsIf it casts spells and is within melee, grappleWhen in doubt, use massive amounts of energy damageBasic: Meat shields in the front, Casters and Ranged in the backIntermediate: Flank, Avoid being clustered/cluster your opponents, Set up AOOsAdvanced: Use complimenting spells and effects, match weapons to damage reduction, buff specifically for your opponent, Set up ambushesThere's only so much you can do at lower levels. As you gain levels, your options increase exponentially. More advanced tactics are necessary at high levels, especially when facing a superior foe. At low levels, just not doing anything stupid will usually get you through the day.</blockquote>
