[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1110945, member: 5777"] I hope this doesnt sound too dumb ;) going along with another poster, tell your dm that you are a bit unhappy and ask if you would be allowed to modify your character slightly. I would suggest getting the 3.5 srd (if you arent useing 3.5 anyway) and remake your character a bit. Pick up 11 levels of ranger (still focus on two weapons of course) and 5 levels of shadowdancer. You will have incredible amounts of hiding and sneaking skills (this is not to be overlooked) along with 6 attacks per round. From the numbers you posted it seems that you either have fairly weak magical weapons or none at all. There are a few spells that can help this (either of the casters in your party should be willing to help, one or two spells on you from each and you will be an even better tank for them). Get a good weapon or two, pick the feats appropriately and for fun. Search through and get some special purpose magic items. At this point all of your problems should be fixed. If somehow you are still being overshadowed constantly and consistently then I will have to agree that it is the dm's fault :( there are many ways to make each person with their specialy able to see a good amount of 'in the spot light' time. Remember your strengths though, full round attacks are what you need, hide in plain sight while sneaking can get you those all important attacks. Your shadow pet is incorpreal so can walk through walls, your character should know just about every step of a place and be able to tell everyone. Being the tracker, finder, and all around necissary information aid does have some enjoyment to it ;) [/QUOTE]
