[QUOTE="Fenes, post: 29014, member: 604"] In one of my groups, the main tactic is "Charge!" from the paladin who is trying to reach the main bad guy no matter what, either right away or after a lengthy discussion. The rest of the party follws after, with the swashbuckling fighter entering melee after emptying his two hand crossbows, the archer trying to stay back and letting lose with arrows, hopefully not hitting his allies, my bard getting out her bastard sword and either covering the archer or going after a spellcaster until she is needed as a healer. The party psion is not that often there, but last fight he took to the air and mass concussioned the enemy before he closed into melee. The other group I am playing in has less cohesion. "Charge!" is heard often from the knight and the cleric, followed or predated by "Fireball" from the party sorceress. The duelist normally stays back, or even out of the fight if it does not look too threatening, then tumbles and tries to engage in single combat. The rogue is trying to flank with tumble, and use his short sword. A chaotic mix of melee, spells and sometimes ranged combat. Both groups try to drop the main threats first, which means spellcasters of any type most of the time. [/QUOTE]
