[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 4406386, member: 65726"] More than once, I heard the fighter say he would have used Sure Strike if he had it. Some encounters he never used Cleave. Cleave is certainly more useful at lower levels, but at higher levels, Sure Strike sure is nice. But perhaps grass is just always greener on the other side of the fence. Also, I was hesitant about his choice of No Opening. It turned out incredibly useful, preventing a bit of extra damage almost every encounter. I thought Evasive Strike would be good for the ranger to get out of sticky situations. Whenever she used it (with one exception out of 6 encounters), it was not for the shift, just for the extra damage, and as such, Two Fanged Strike would have been much better. I thought Bigby's Icy Grasp was great on paper. But whatever was grabbed managed to get out of it every time, so I was a bit disappointed with it, though that could just be dice rolls. The wizard also never used Dimension Door. Invisibility or Dispel Magic would have seen more definite use. Dispel Magic may not get used much, but when you need it, boy do you need it. [/QUOTE]
