[QUOTE="TimSmith, post: 2534652, member: 10322"] Well, that would make sense- I have noticed that the mage can really smash the opposition's hit points in short order and I was thinking that that ought to be my job as a fighter. But, the way you describe it is more like it is in reality- I soak up the damage, dish out reasonable damage (sometimes spectacular if I hit multiple times or a crit-drool) but don't hit often enough to really take down the big monsters. That's fine- I just need to realise that's the way it ought to be. I was just a bit worried about constantly draining the cleric's healing all the time. It seems to be that the wizard slaughters things, I soak up the damage and finish them off, and the cleric heals me. Rinse and repeat! What you said about the secondary monster attacks seems to be right as regards medium monsters. This session we took out 2 vrocks and I hardly took any direct damage at all thanks to stoneskin and actually getting missed by the secondary attacks. The half dragon tyrannosaurs however, managed to whack me even with their secondary attacks. [/QUOTE]
