Message: <blockquote data-quote="pbd" data-source="post: 2388198" data-attributes="member: 20567">That is pretty much the tactics I use; the tiger has bracers and an amulet to get his 25 AC, and in battle the druid will buff, wildshape, and then they are facing 2 huge tigers.  The problem with that is they are needed in the front pretty quick and I don't get a whole lot of time to buff.  I must say that although he went down in the fight against the dragon, between the two tigers, they did some serious damage to it.  Unfortunately, in our group we have only one dedicated front line fighter.  It is large group and we have fighter/ranger (front line), wizard (new spellcater player, not super effective and goes down quick), druid (tries to focus on melee) + tiger, bard (not a direct damage dealer, butinspiring courage is pretty good), rogue (sniper), cleric (not a front line guy).  The druid and his companion have to be able to do some front line fighting or we are toast; however, the druid was built with that in mind so it works out.  So the conundrum is the group needs the two quadrapedal front line fighters, but the companion at least has a way of getting into trouble.At least we won't be facing any dragons for a while, but the DM has a way of throwing nasty encounters at us (an occasional non-all or nothing encounter would be nice) and I shudder to think what we will deal with next...</blockquote>
