I'm here for some tactical advice....

my plan was as follows.

Have the Dwarf fighter rush the opposing party (as a speed bump if nothing else) hopefully engaging the enemy psion in the first round or two. and stick to him like glue.

the Goliath would circle out to one side or the other, making use of it's greater speed, to come at the enemy forces from behind and again, hopefullly target the psion. or, failing that, engage the enemy wild card.

my psychic warrior is.... currently unassigned...

I kinda view him as backing up the dwarf and engaging the enemy fighter and psychic warrior.

the Psion.... I'm hoping to use as an 'artillery piece' allow him to wait a turn or two, and then, as the situation develops, either use psychic crush to put something out of the fight, or to bombard the enemy with ranged powers.





thoughts?

tactical suggestions?

do you have buff rounds? because you could really use that time to buff with your manifesters. potions of invisibility would go a long way

psychic warrior should fight using that bite attack that you augment for higher damage
