Strikers produce 3 cool effects only one of which is a strike....-Range damage before contact (probably 1st round only), ranger + sneak attack means molto damage! Enjoy those fistfulls of dice at 1st level!-Supression fire (It forces the enemy to bunch and to keep to cover)-Overwatch (you can ready strikes at key targets eg wzds, which restricts their movement)This bunching and supression can help your allies in many ways-Bunched enemies are vulnerable to wizards and front liner's powers-Enemies trying to move in cover take longer to reach the front line-Bunched enemies are easier to flank. The rangers mates can help out with this eg if skirmishing on the flank , delay until your mate on the flank has acted asking him to step 5' either way can make a difference. My whole party uses reach weapons as well, so the monsters are permanently supressed.I think the new rules work really well for this. At least they do for my fey warlock, who has the added bonus of high maneaverability.</blockquote>
