[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 1288859, member: 9990"] Sounds like the DM is using the same tactics any Int=4 dog would use - attack what is hurting you most first, then next, etc. Since he is only targeting one PC at a time, I would mix it up to take you down 1st once in a while :D . Maybe it was only a few battles, but perhaps the DM should mix it up to make the PCs chase the baddies, or throw in some nasty high DR critters to stand the damage dished out by the others, as you bypass it somehow. IMO, your PC is perfect for the group - you are the long-lasting energizer bunny that will be able to keep dishing out damage to finish off the fight when the others fall. If the DM focuses on you, the rest get to dish out their massive damage; as you said, if he still focuses on the others, you survive and get to make first choice of the loot. :p What you could also do is learn to be a 'gimmick' PC - take a few feats, skills or something to make you more valuable in combat by preventing the enemy from attacking instead of dealing out damage. Go for tripping, stunning or grappling instead, giving your teammates more time to mow them down once you prevent them from attacking. Attract the attention of the spell casters with your high saves to prevent the ranger from getting tagged too often. Do it by saying to the DM that your are flexing, shouting, and about to try something completely different. The DM focuses more fire at you, and as the survivor you take it. Then proceed with the fight the same as usual... the DM doesn't have to know that you are only trying to attract attention to yourself. [edit] spellink. [/QUOTE]
