Favorite Battling strategy

[Psyduck]

Well, since it seems like a poll month, I decided to make another one. Which way do you fight?

 

[Sodalis]

You have a thing for polls don't you?

ANyhoo, the stradegy would depend on the characters' classes. a fighter would be melee, rogue is ranged, casters to be spells.

the only class to have more than one option would be cleric (war clric, healer, or offensive spells), ranger (ranged or melee) and druid (melee animal, and spells for her- she has no ranged capabilities besides spell)

 

[Ferret]

Two-handed, triping, with spells to back up

 

[Crothian]

I think you should have divided the Ranged into Projectile and Thrown, the spells into Divine and Arcane, and had unarmed in addition to grappling.

The best is ranged attacks. Hit them when they can't hit you back.

 

[Turlogh]

Two-handed Weapons
One Weapon
Two Weapon- but not silly double weapons.
Ranged for backup.

Although my current character doesn't use it...my favorite strategy that I used with any character was to throw several molotov cocktails, then run away (He was an idiot gnome).

My "Other not mentioned" was combining a reach weapon in my case a Glaive, with Combat Reflexes.

I find this really handy being a Dwarf as the extra 5ft reach helps offset my reduced movement, and also means I can cover a wide corridor single-handed and stop charging monsters getting to the more vunerable members at the back of the party.

The Combat Reflexes, means I don't have to worry too much about being flat footed as I still get an AoO at anyone that charges me or my companions.

My biase is toward 2H, TWF just seems over rated. Sword and Sheild is very practical at least.

I love sundering! Especially with a two haned weapon!
