[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 2836311, member: 36150"] I'm guessing that your players are new to D&D, based on the theory that the Paladin is the only frontline fighter type. Keep this in mind: * The Rogue makes a wicked tag-team partner with any frontline fighter thanks to their sneak attacks. If the Rogue has a decent AC, encourgae him to get up there and slog it out. * The Wizard should get magic spells. But I'm from the new-school way of thinking when it comes to Wizards and AC... if they never get in frontline combat, why stock them up with defensive items? The Wiz will have the Bard and the Rogue to help defend the rear if needs be. * The Bard must have blown his feat on the comp. longbow... does he have a high (or any) STR bonus? If not, a light crossbow will do him much better, he wouldn't have had to blow a feat, and he could use that feat for something more fun. * The Monk is a mean frontline fighter. High Wis + High Dex + Mid Strength and he's just as good as any ol' Fighter... plus he's size Small, so even better. He might better benefit from the Ring of Protection than the Wizard if he goes this route. He and the Rogue would also make a good tag-team. * The Paladin can and should be the Tank. Don't forget he gets Lay on Hands. ;) * The Cleric should also be a frontline fighter. Despite his shorter size, he's considered Medium, so he can use any and all weapons a Med-sized character can. With a feat (or the War domain and a decent deity), he could also use the Greatsword. He can wear any armour and use any shield, plus he's a Dwarf (making him a humanoid-buster), so Tank him up and let him get whacked. All that aside... Looks like a decent pile of change. I'd say leave it as is. [/QUOTE]
