Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoeNotCharles" data-source="post: 5685259" data-attributes="member: 79945">I notice all 3 Slayers took Orc-Lore.  Don't you want to spread the lore around a little bit?  Also both Elves took Wood-Elf Magic, which means you must start with the same spell.  No problem with that if you think it'll be useful to you, but you might want a little more variety?We have an awful lot of bow users here.  One peculiarity of the combat system is that - unless you outnumber the enemy - you can only use a bow if 2 allies protect you by fighting hand to hand - otherwise the enemy can get close enough to make your bow useless.  So if 2 people are using bows, you need 4 people fighting up close - if 3 people are using bows, you need 6 up close!  And we have 4 bow users!  (However, unless you're ambushed you can usually get off a few shots with ranged weapons before closing in and switching to a hand to hand weapon.)We have: Hobnob is good with a bow, Riggins is good with a bow or a sword (better with the sword, but owns a special bow), and Vardolas and Authiel are both specialized with the bow.  So Riggins is in pretty good shape - he can fire a few times and then use the sword.  But I'd strongly suggest that either Hobnob switch around Bow and Shortsword, so we can have 2 bow specialists, 1 person who can use a bow if there's an opportunity, and 4 who must fight up close; or have one of the elves change to 2 Bow, 2 Sword so that they can fight hand to hand, in which case we have 2 people always using bows (only one is really excellent at it though), 2 people who can use bows when there's an opportunity, and 3 who always fight up close.</blockquote>
