[QUOTE="Macbeth, post: 1631672, member: 11259"] Pair up. Everybody should have a buddy. In BardStephenFox's campaign, my Psychic/Samurai often works together with the Martial Artist (basically a variant monk). We often flank the same opponent, letting the other front liner (a barbarian) choose his own target. This can also extend into roleplay. the Martial Artist and my Samurai are fairly good friends in general, so it makes sense that we work together in combat. Talk Startegy before hand. If the PCs have any idea that combat is coming, they should define what everbody is expected to do. Before one of our bigger combats, against a gang of bandits, we all took roles. My Samurai, The Amrtial Artist and the Barbarian all went in to melee, with the Samurai and Martial artist working more or less together. The Ranger was responsible for taking out any runners. The magic-users (a Cleric and a Shaman, which is a spotaneous divine caster) were mostly to provide backup and healing. The Wanderer (Super skilled guy) did a little hit and run.
