[QUOTE="Guest 6801718, post: 6969980"] I would steer clear of adding in additional rules and house rules when something like this comes up. D&D already has plenty of rules and adding in more or creating house rules usually ends up just complicating things and slowing the game down. As Flamestrike said, simply being a bit more creative in your encounters and role playing will go a long way in fixing your issues. Plus it's a whole lot easier than coming up with new rules. There are already great suggestions in this thread on how to deal with range party members. When you're in those grassy open fields, have creatures duck into the grass to hide, causing the range guys to lose line of sight. Stealthy character sneaking through the grass and moving in on ranged characters gives the range PCs new problems and creates tension. Creatures can hide in sand and then spring up to ambush the party. Or simply have monsters or bad guys who can shoot back. Don't forget spells like Blur, Mirror Image and others that cause havoc for any party member. When that range guys suddenly has five targest, it will cause problems. [/QUOTE]
