[QUOTE="The-Magic-Sword, post: 8721721, member: 6801252"] It depends a little bit on party, but pretend you've got a Wizard, Cleric, Fighter, Thief (Rogue), and a Bard The Fighter and Rogue (and/or Cleric depending on doctrine) will generally flank, leading to a +2 to their attacks, this also provides multiple targets to soak the boss's damage, let's say the Wizard casts Fear and the boss succeeds the throw, you've got +3 to their attacks due to the frightened condition, the bard uses inspire courage and its up to +4 for their attacks, a whopping 20% shift in hit/crit chance. I didn't mention the Cleric because they might be focused on healing after the boss monster's turn, but in theory they could be providing the +1 status bonus through bless or guidance or casting fear themselves so its flexible depending on how initiative and space worked out and what everyone wants to do, but the only boss dependent move out of what I just mentioned is the fear spell, which it needs to crit succeed against to not let the party get all the way up to +4. There are a lot of other effective combos, but this is just a 'classic DND' example of how to get to a +4 attack bonus, but there's lots of stuff: [URL='https://2e.aonprd.com/Feats.aspx?ID=3161']I have a Gunslinger who loves to use this feat since aid doesn't target enemy AC, and since Aid is a circumstance bonus, it stacks with the other buffs I mentioned.
