[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3971113, member: 19675"] IMHO, that's a [I]good[/I] thing- it lets others in the party shine while you're eclipsed. It also lets you explore what you can do to help your party when you can't affect the foe in question...IOW, teamwork. Fun is where you find it. I think its great that the party Wizard got in a kill shot on a (young) dragon with Ray of Frost. I think its awesome that our gnome Monk finished off an Umber Hulk while my PC was unconscious (he didn't, but my PC didn't know any better, and that's the story that got told to the rest of the party when they showed up). That is just one of those "$hi+ happens" things- just like happens in real life. Something very much like that caused me to have to retake the Texas Bar Exam. Suxxors? Sure, but it can make for great roleplay in the Indiana Jones, "Why did it have to be snakes" trope of heroic character building events... Cleric: We were surrounded, outnumbered, and virtually out of ammo & spells. Trolls & lizardmen working together? Who would have thought such an alliance could work, much less last? It was going to be the end of us...then I managed to light the swamp gas with my domain spell, Burning Hands! It set off a chain reaction of firey explosions that scattered them and gave us a path through them big enough to get to a more defensible position, which turned the tide permenantly in our favor... Heh...Burning Hands: the only [i]effective[/i] spell I cast that day except the healing after the melee. [/QUOTE]
