I can't tell that from the answer you gave.The fighter and wizard are the only social characters, so why is the fighter doing so badly? Rolls? RPing?You never use poison, or monsters with spell-like abilities?As you mentioned low-magic, I assumed this meant "low item"; that's the usual way the term is described. As mentioned by other PCs, more details like you're now providing are helpful, it prevents "wasted advice". His AC should be 8 +4 [+4 plate] +5 [+3 heavy shield] +6 (Dex) +2 [fighter talent] based on what you said in the quote giving a total of 35. That's so high for a 8th-level fighter, it's creating the exact opposite problem as I said.Five tigers isn't really a fighter-screwing encounter, but it's more than a little odd. I can't picture so many tigers attacking the guy wearing inedible metal armor. (Tigers are large, too, there wouldn't have been much space.) Why didn't any of the tigers run past him and eat some of the weaker, tastier PCs instead?As for archers, if the fighter isn't that fast, and therefore can't quickly close with them, it would make sense for them to get good terrain (eg on top of buildings, shooting from windows, etc) and then shoot the PCs most dangerous to them (the PC ranger and wizard).The only other solution I can think of is use "stealthier" encounters. Since he's in a city, villains can't just rush the PCs, as the watch will be notified and descriptions taken. The PCs can be lured to urban "mazes" where NPC rogues can dart out of the darkness and attack whichever PC is closest (so, often not the fighter). Even if the PCs bunch up and run after a rogue, others can strike (or shoot) at their backs from other alleys.</blockquote>
