[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 4414381, member: 16069"] Noted, will do, although my problem (and others) is with the Ranger, he's not willing to get dirty even when others are rushing around trying to save each other he's ten paces back doing the same thing most rounds, at least 90% of the time anyway- and then bitching that the group shouldn't be in this mess in the first place, the other players are getting irked that he's complaining about their lack of tactics and yet he's not suggesting any alternives and resolutely remains at the back, we play on MapTools, he's usually on the bottom square of the screen while the others are some ten or so squares away. This week a Kobold Chieftain snuck up on him (designed like a Slyblade except with nasty hand crossbow damage), sent him to a handful of HP in one round (they're only 2nd level characters) and he blamed the Rogue for starting the fight, not playing tactically- I think that was an over-reaction to the fact it's genuinely the first time he's taken any real damage. But the fact remains the group, I feel, is on the road to implosion, and the Ranger can't see why. Thanks for the reply, any further advice welcome, it's keeping me awake- the players are all very good friends- family some of them. [/QUOTE]
