Does he get credit for the bonus damage and bonus attacks? When he provokes an opportunity attack from the fighter's mark, giving the fighter an attack, does that get credited to the fighter or the Bard? Half and half? If the rogue flanks with the bard, who gets credit for the sneak attack damage?Who gets credit when the bard removes a blinded condition from a rogue, or dazed condition from the swordmage, allowing them to be effective?I'm guessing the fighter and swordmage damages are high because of multi-target attacks. Come and Get it, Scattering Swing, Vorpal Tornado can wrack up the total damage rather quickly. Sword burst, Thundering Vortex, etc. do the same for swordmage. If the rogue simply contributes to taking targets down sooner rather than later, even without a lot of overall damage output, she should be effective.The party doesn't seem to be taking a lot of damage overall, so I'm wondering if the encounters are a bit too straight forward. In my game, in an encounter, it's not unusual for the sorcerer to take enough damage to make her keel over twice (she doesn't of course because of mitigation or healing). Sometimes the ranger will be the punching bag, and sometimes the warlock or the shaman. And on the odd occasion I have taken a paladin down in round 1, or a fighter to single digits in round 2. Of course a lot of monsters promptly die after that, but still, the only encounter where the party has taken a reasonable amount of damage seems to be combat 3.</blockquote>
