[QUOTE="Delemental, post: 1907202, member: 5203"] Okay, looking at it from this perspective... Have the entire group sit down together and review each other's characters and what they can do. It can be difficult enough at higher levels remembering your own character's capabilities, let alone what your comrades can do. By looking things over, your players may discover forgotten magic items or spells they rarely use. At the same time, one person may have ideas for how another player's character can use an ability that player never thought of. Or come up with ideas of how to use multiple abilities in combination. Also, look into combat maneuvers. Enemies that have ACs in the high 30s that laugh at you melee attacks can be tripped or bull rushed. THe trick to effective high level play isn't that one spell or class ability. It's developing combinations, using several elements together. The party that rushes in to attack the orcs isn't as effective as the [I]hasted[/I], [I]bear's enduranced[/I], [I]blessed [/I]party whose monk and rogue tag-team with a Stunning Fist/Sneak Attack routine, while the fighter bull-rushes opponents into the wizard's [I]Evard's black tentacles[/I] spell with the sorcerer's [I]cloudkill [/I]superimposed over it.
