[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1288657, member: 13098"] You have nearly twice as many HP as the next PC, of course you are difficult to take down. That's not a problem because you are at least there to try to stabilize all the lightweights. :) Seriously though, your SR isn't that high and your saves are nice, but not too extreme. You can still suck up plenty of damage from spells. Of course, the problem is that nobody else can, right? What will be a problem? Incorporeal undead. A shadow doing Str damage is just as much a threat to you as to everyone else. Well, except that you probably have better Str. Hmm, I can't really find anything that makes you overpowerful. Everyone else has optimized themselves on the concept of a strong offense is the best defense. Without you, the DM would be able to play to that style without exploiting some of the glaring problems with that strategy. The Psion could be using Improved Biofeedback, if he chose to take it. What about Displacement? The Ranger can do 24 points (avg) a round and he is worried about shooting mooks? WTF? Leave the mooks to you, shoot the wizards. In the 3 rounds he killed mooks, he could have done 72 points (avg) of damage to spellflingers. Coupled with the Psion, There should not be any spellcasters left on the other side. The bad guy heavies may be able to focus on the paladin, but they should do so only if there is a roge on the other side. All in all, I would say that your group is not fighting very effectively for the characters that are in it. You need to re-think your tactics when fighting a large group. You need to identify the real threats and deal with them while offering mutual support. If it helps, think about it like this. You need to use your resources intelligently. One of your resources is the HP of each character in the group. Where can your character's resource be applied to help rectify the problem of everyone else being pounded on? As for your DM, he might need to rethink his enemy choices as well as tactics to put a little more heat on your character too. [/QUOTE]
