Surely there must be a sneak/lurker/ambusher role too. Or is that covered by skirmisher?Greenfaun said:The monster roles seem a little muddled, still. For instance, there are, by my count:
Brutes
Soldiers
Artillery
Controllers
Ringleaders? (is that what he called the hobgoblin caster?)
Skirmishers
This are combat roles. The "skirmisher" which is all about mobility, I'm assuming, is the combat equivalent of the striker.Doug McCrae said:Surely there must be a sneak/lurker/ambusher role too. Or is that covered by skirmisher?

My suspicion is that they're designing the books so that if you walked into your FLGS for the first time, picked up the PHB2, MM3 and DMG4, you could run the game no different than if you had the PHB1, MM1 and DMG1.DaveMage said:Quite a change from the 3e mantra that all you need are the three core books. (And the expectation that you'll get the "standard" critters in the first volume.)
