[QUOTE="Ftr, post: 5125209, member: 88732"] [b]roles[/b] Here's what I'm trying to figure out... I am a devoted cleric so I am a back row type of spell caster. My sats limit my melee effectiveness and as a healer I really cant afford to get clobbered early in the battle. BUT, I do have reasonable powerful ranged attacks and utility spells. What I'm trying to figure out is if the situation calls for it, who, besides me, is a drop back support unit at range? Which of you is just as effective in the back row as the front...without sacrificing our front row effectiveness. I can foresee a combat situation where we have a melee mob engaging and tying up our tanks while I am left alone to deal with archers or spell casters. So..does anyone else have any capabilities to help deal with that? AS far as I know we have a cross-in-a-can, a meat shield, a healer , a knife, and an NPC (who may or may not contribute much depending on the workload of the DM). I see a problem with ranged attackers. Do any of you warriors have missile weapon proficiencies? The rogue has xbow which is great, but it would be better if we all had a kick-in-the-door-with-one-shot-missile-attack, then the frontliners could drop the weapon and wade in with swords and axes, the rogue can flank, and I can support via ranged attacks and healing. what do you think on this issue =, guys?
