[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 6430189, member: 6716779"] Na he is CG. I did ask him beofre I generated my character if I take a bard will you be near the front lines where I can help you out and buff your damage? He also took the healer feat after wanting to do it as rwe rebuilt the party and someone else was doing the healer role so he wanted to that as well. I don't ecxpect much but when the Rogue is not even sneak attacking when he could on the off chance the DM throws a random 1d8+2 damage his way at level 10 with 70+hp and the rest of the group is getting slaughtered and he is at the far side of the map doing sod all (several sessions in a row) and he is the medic and he is to far away to be the medic and a PC dies you be doing something wrong.His excuse is uncanny dodge only works 1/round so I might start using the excuse that my healing only works once per day. The problem was he can retaliate after he volunteered to be the healer and we use the healing feat via him a lot. Due to extreme muppetness we are already at the limit of healing resources for the party (no cleric). If he was dealing a bit more damage, healing when he needed to and took some damage so 1 PC was not taking all of it we would be a bit better off (and not have a dead PC). He only gets in clsoe once the wizard or myself have used some AoE spells and 2 or 3 PCs are down already. I keep runinng out of spells because I ahve to divert some of my spells to healing and aura of vitality breaks my concentration if I have something like enhance ability up so we are using 2 spells we should not have to use in the 1st place and burning through spells at a unsustainable rate. Without spells I struggle to do muchin the way of damage or knock over NPCs so the others can do any damage. m Earier we talked it out and had primary healer (Rogue, secondary heraler (Druid), and tertiary healer (me) but I am being forced to vecome the primary healer (AFK rogue), the Druid is in animal form or KOed half the time (or dead) and my bard is out of spells as I have to use crap healing spells for the most part on top of spells to stay alive on top of spells I try to buff the party with. I don't think I am being to selfish. I built a low damage PC designed to make every one else better but I can't dothat due to various other issues. AFAIK most parties would love have a character designed to hand out bbard dice, get advantage for you and heal you in emergencies. My resources are finite though and I am kind of squishy and I always try and help out but if the crunch comes t the crunch and I have to make a choice between saving myself or saving someone else I will chose myself as its not like the other PCs are a wife/child etc. [/QUOTE]
