[QUOTE="Naoki00_, post: 5752484, member: 99243"] This is happening in a Campaign I'm running and I'd like to ask for some advice on how to handle it so as not to tip the scale back and forth too much.. The party is made up of an 8th level fighter, an 8th level Wizard, an 8th level ranger/rogue (2 levels rogue), and an 8th level Halfling rogue. I allowed them a small bit of optimizing since I warned them the world would be rather unforgiving, but now I'm running into a problem I didn't quite see happening. Basically the Fighter is lagging behind in the party's happenings, both in social situations, and in battles. I allowed him use of a template that bumps most of his stats and gives even MORE feats then a normal fighter (he gets a feat every level since her gets a fighter feat on the even levels and a bonus from the template on the odd levels), but either his selection hasn't been working or something to that effect. we allow any book we have access to though sadly that doesn't mean much when you don't have many. He's lagging bad enough that even with a 24 strength, 22 constitution, and a 22 dexterity (all the mod of which is applied to his AC thanks to special armor) and he's still barely managing to scrape by with the encounters, which are made mostly to deal with the other party members then his. He's getting a little frustrated but understands that it's not really the other members fault, but I'd really like to help him out a bit and bring him more to the other players levels, he is VERY passionate about staying pure melee as thats what his character would do..any idea's on how I can help?
