[QUOTE="Darmyth, post: 840551, member: 10301"] quick note about archers taking that 5' step back. That's your GM's fault. We had an archer that kept putting himself outta harms way so the GM gave his creatures/npcs' the feat "Pressing attack". I think it's in the sword/fist but don't quote me. I do know that it's in a WotC published book. anyways, it allows the melee to keep pushing forward as his opponent moves away. SO! Round 1 - Archer wins inititive and unloads his arrows... hit/miss it doesn't matter for this. Most archers are within 30' to get that extra hit/dmg. - Melee moves his 30' to close in on archer and does his 1 swing. Round 2 - Archer takes 5' step back, raises his bow and gets clobbered by the melee in an Attack of Opportunity since the melee has "pressing attack" feat. - Now the archer is pretty screwed Next archer idea... Battle happens, the archer is 90' away so he can just shoot away at the combatants without worry. Too bad that a handful of enemies hadn't joined in on the fight and snuck around behind the archer. Poor archer. [/QUOTE]
