That fits well with a feral rager I think. And you still get a +1 on throwing alchemist fires.Toddy's tactics were sound.  He is the "indestrruktable" llama.  He cannot die, he can only be sent home to recuperate for a day.  He charged in,  engaging the enemy, while others were equipping and buffing themselves.  If it wasn't for unknown special abilities, he would have kept the opponent 5' stepping while the rest of the party ganged up on him.  With his +14 acrobatics, he will often be attempting to pulling off the trick Halal did to generate flank as often as he can.  Marshan's tactics are to bring surprise force down on someone from the second rank.  In places he shouldn't get an attack at all because of reach, he gets barbarian quality damage without taking the normal time to buff.  He only gets four surprise rounds a day before having to fight like an normal opponent.Firvin should be singing as soon as we close to melee, or even just before.   This next round should be three attacks from us, which nets a +3 damage.  Once Toddy steps up and can full attack, it is 5 attacks per round for +5 damage if we can land our blows.  Maintaining a bardic performance is a free action, so she can cast spells or use a crossbow in the following rounds and still keep our bonuses up and running.</blockquote>
