[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 7525459, member: 71699"] Out of interest trialled the same ranged party in a twisty corridor. Starting distance around 40', narrow sections of 10' wide with a maximum of about 40', and foes approaching from both flanks. As before the characters were 8th level - a Wood Elf SS H Ranger, a Wood Elf CEx BM Fighter, a Half-Elf Agonizing AF/T Warlock, and a Tiefling Draconic Sorcerer.
