Meele characters can also use bow!
Hi,
I haven't read all the post from this thread... But one thing that did strike me is that nobody considers the bow-shoting option melee characters have... I myself rarely play tanks, but I would definetely get a good bow next to my good meele weapon.....
The tactic of waiting for your enemies while raining a hail of arrows on them becomes much more worthwhile... Taking the group example at the beginning of 2 meele and 2 archer characters: you suddenly have 4 characters shooting bows.... Even if the meele characters don't hit that often, its worth it..... And picture the sweat on the archers brow
The meele characters can easily chuck away their bows and grab their readied swords!!! I bet you the archers will treat the meele guys with more respect!!!!!!!!!!!
Apart from that, my DM never lets our opponents apear far away! It would of mad him in anyway! Archers and mages, sorcerer and druids would plug the creatures down before they came in anywhere near where they could do us harm!
