[QUOTE="sithramir, post: 1111527, member: 12183"] I wished I could help your situation. I can, however, make some suggestions. First off i'm usually the wizard and at higher levels I was the "leader" due to my versatility and having diplomatic skills. I ended up being the guy everyone looked for for everything. We had no rogue and I could hide and sneak so they'd say "you go do it" or in the battle against a lich they'd be like "pull out that prismatic eye spell" do this do this "buff us with spells", etc. They'd look at me to teleport them or to do a lot of things I didn't really think i need to do. What I then found was that in combat I was the target because the BBEG's realized that they depended on me. I then ended up learning good ways to protect myself avoid the bad guys to actually let my friends save my butt. I know its from the opposite spectrum of your problem but it can be annoying both ways. What I suggest is acquiring items to give yourself more things to do. Invest in litle things like dirty fighting feat plus add flaming/cold to your weapons. With TWF thats the best ways to add a lot of damage potential. Look for useful things to make your guy helpful. Chime of opening, lantern of revealing. Those type things give your guy some more usefulness. Flying items and speed boosting items would help you get to the fight sooner and allow you to use "hide in plain sight" more also. Unfortunately, the DM does have to tailor the encounters. I'd suggest telling him that if the people you fight are smart they'd try to kill off the people who are the worst threat. And I doubt they'd see you as the worst threat. Remind your DM that silence spells or warp wood on a wooden holy symbol really screws up the casters days. [/QUOTE]
