[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 4518736, member: 20323"] Lots of good advice. I think one issue is that some of the players are inexperienced and not used to tactical thinking. Another is that I'm usually a DM and encourage my players to try stunting and cool manuevers, while my new DM is a little more by the book. Here's my build...
