[QUOTE="DrSpunj, post: 4807928, member: 994"] I think that's much of it. The current party make up is: [LIST] [*]Dwarven Battle Cleric: savvy & tactical player, one of the PCs I believe counts as optimized [*]Human TacLord: the player is growing into his abilities & role, getting better with each session, and [b]Nail[/b] nudges him (appropriately IMO) on occasion given that he plays a TacLord in another game and is familiar with many of the same powers [*][b]Nail[/b]'s Human Battlerager Fighter: obviously the one most familiar with the rules & 4e in general at the table (including me!), very tactical but tends to roll low much of the time ;) [*]Genasi (earth) Swordmage: just retooled with AP for the ensnaring aegis, good knowledge of his PC & the rules [*]Elven Archery Ranger: Greatbow, Bracers of Archery, has a lot of fun with Twin Strike and Elven Accuracy, our most consistent Striker [*]Tiefling Hellfire Warlock: newbie player, D&D 4e I believe is her first RPG, not overly familiar with the rules or her PC's abilities, we recently discovered most all of her numbers were low because her boyfriend (Swordmage player) hadn't checked over what she'd done, usually takes the advice of whoever is helping her when her turn comes up [*]Human Staff Wizard: player is frequently gone so this PC has been played by a few "guest of the week" players, by the group as a committee, and occasionally by another player doubling up on their PC duties, last session by [b]Nail[/b] alone for this big battle [/LIST] While they certainly aren't [i]mostly[/i] optimized they do play pretty coherently as a group now after over a dozen sessions. We have a lot of fun, which I'm very happy about because I want to hold up my end of our DM-Player bargain! :lol: [/QUOTE]
