[QUOTE="Kmart Kommando, post: 3071111, member: 39915"] Our party devotes over half of their spells, gear and consumables to retreat options. Nearly the rest goes into boosting hit points and saves. They [I]still[/I] only retreat after at least 2 PCs are dead, or all of them are under half health and the healer is down. We have a frontline fighter that won't go anywhere more than 10ft from the healer, but hits like a girl except for like 5/day smites, while the other 3 frontliners are mixing it up everywhere. (there are 9 players) 1 blaster won't use movement spells unless he is in immediate danger, never for tactical movement (he uses share pain, vigor, false life, and some DR power, and has effectively more than half again as many hit points as any of the frontliners, plus he's Elan, so he has the damage buffer too. If he took empathic feedback and stood in the front, he'd be a great meatshield, power point for power point, empathic feedback is a great value, since anything attacking is going to hit at least 3-4 times, maybe even in one round). We have retreated several times, but taken heavy losses while doing so, and there's only 1 original PC from 1st level still in the campaign. (16th level now) [/QUOTE]
