[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7948968, member: 29398"] Sorry to pick on you here but this character is exactly the sort I don't like to see, simply because it [B]is[/B] a jack-of-all-trades and thus as such doesn't need a party nearly as much as a single-class type, as neatly evidenced by your note of being really useful in a party of only two characters. My experience with such j-o-a-t characters (and I've tried playing them myself too now and then, just for kicks) is that they end up in the spotlight far more often than anyone else, particularly in a larger group. Alanna: "I'll talk our way in past the guard." Jack: "I'll help!" Sneakers: "I'll climb the wall and scout things out." Jack: "I'll come too!" Thrug: "Point me at the fightin' and lemme at 'em!" Jack: "I'm right beside you!" Wizzly: "Let me try some divinations and see if I can get some answers here." Jack: "I'll do the same." Much rather see each character have distinct strengths and weaknesses in order to encourage inter-reliance, and if your party has a glaring weakness then recruit an adventuring NPC (or roll up another PC and play two at once) to fill the gap.
